Ingredients
  

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved

1 cup carrots, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

1 small red onion, cut into wedges

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped (optional for added crunch)

1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional for a sweet contrast)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, bring together the butternut squash cubes, halved Brussels sprouts, carrot slices, and red onion wedges.

      Craft the Glaze: In a separate small bowl, combine the olive oil, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, sea salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary. Whisk them together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

        Combine Ingredients: Drizzle the maple glaze over the bowl of prepared veggies. Gently toss the vegetables with the glaze until they are fully coated and glistening.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the glazed vegetables out evenly in a single layer, ensuring they have space between them for optimal roasting.

            Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and roast the veggies for about 25-30 minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through to promote even cooking and caramelization. The vegetables are ready when they are tender and beautifully caramelized.

              Add Crunch and Flavor: If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans and dried cranberries over the roasted veggies during the last 5 minutes in the oven. This will give the dish an extra layer of texture and a delightful burst of sweetness.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the vegetables to cool slightly. Serve these delicious maple-glazed roasted autumn veggies warm as an inviting side dish accompanying any fall-inspired meal!
