Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Step 2

On a large baking sheet, toss the cubed butternut squash with about 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, Kosher salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), and ground black pepper to taste. Use 2 sheet pans if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding leads to steaming instead of roasting.

Step 3

On another large baking sheet, toss the Brussels sprouts with about 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, Kosher salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), and ground black pepper to taste. Place the brussels sprouts flat side down. Use 2 sheet pans if needed to avoid overcrowding.

Step 4

Roast the butternut squash and brussels sprouts for 15-20 minutes. Then, remove from oven and drizzle about 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over each sheet pan and stir to coat, flipping the veggies for even browning on all sides. Return to oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Note: The brussels sprouts may be done before the butternut squash is, depending on how big they are.

Step 5

In a large serving bowl, toss the roasted butternut squash, roasted brussels sprouts, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with some more olive oil and maple syrup. Enjoy warm or cold!
