roasted brussels sprouts with butternut squash, cranberries, and pecans
Yes, I know I've posted two other ways to roast Brussels sprouts but there is yet another worth sharing! The recipe calls for butternut squash but I will likely substitute pumpkin as that is more readily available where I live. Additionally, you can use less pecans or none if desired.
ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH, CRANBERRIES, AND PECANS
from Julia's Album
5 Tbsp olive oil, divided
3 cups Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and halved
1½ lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 inch cubes (about 4 cups)
3 Tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp cinnamon
2 cups pecans
1 cup dried cranberries
TOSS Brussels sprouts with 2 Tbsp olive oil and salt (to taste). Place, cut-side down, on a greased or lined baking sheet. Roast at 400°F degrees for 20-25 minutes, turning during the last 5-10 minutes for even browning.
COMBINE cubed butternut squash, 1 Tbsp olive oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Place in a single layer on a lined or greased baking sheet. Bake at 400°F degrees for 20-25 minutes, turning once, until softened. (You can bake the two vegetables on separate baking sheets at the same time in the oven, space permitting.)
