Ingredients

• 1 medium (peeled, seeded, and diced) butternut squash
• 2 cups (trimmed and halved) Brussels sprouts
• 3 large (peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces) carrots
• 1 large (peeled and sliced into wedges) red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup (grated) parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced butternut squash, halved Brussels sprouts, sliced carrots, and red onion wedges.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Toss again to ensure the seasonings are distributed evenly.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is minimal overlap for even roasting.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through, until they are tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 7

Optional: If using parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the hot vegetables immediately after removing them from the oven for a touch of richness.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
