Instructions
- Wash your hands and clean your countertops. Rinse produce under cool running water before slicing. Preheat your oven to 400*F.
- First, spread walnuts on a baking sheet. Place in oven to toast for 2 minutes. Check regularly to prevent burning. Set walnuts aside to later add toasted walnuts to vegetables.
- For the veggies, combine halved brussels sprouts and cubed butternut squash with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Mix ingredients to evenly coat vegetables.
- Spread vegetables on a foil-lined baking sheet. Tip: By placing the brussels sprouts cut side down, they will reach the desired caramelization.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Stir once after 10 minutes of roasting.
- Assemble the ingredients. Toss walnuts, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds with vegetables. Serve immediately.
