Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 2 lbs) butternut squash
• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 3 large carrots
• 1 large red onion
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and seed the butternut squash, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half, then add them to the bowl with the squash.

Step 4

Peel and slice the carrots into 1/2-inch thick rounds, and add them to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Peel and cut the red onion into thick wedges. Add the onions to the bowl as well.

Step 6

Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor but leave them whole. Add them to the vegetables.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 8

Divide the vegetables evenly between the two prepared baking sheets, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the trays and use a spatula to flip or stir the vegetables for even browning.

Step 10

Return the trays to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and beginning to caramelize.

Step 11

If desired, sprinkle the roasted vegetables with parmesan cheese immediately after taking them out of the oven, so the cheese melts slightly.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy as a light vegetarian main course!
