Ingredients

Scale

For the Vegetables:

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Maple Walnuts:

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

For the Finishing Touch:

  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Roast the Vegetables – Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the zucchini, Brussels sprouts, and butternut squash with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Spread them evenly on a large baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Maple Walnuts – In a small skillet, heat the walnuts over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Drizzle the maple syrup over the walnuts, sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of salt, and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the syrup thickens and sticks to the walnuts. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. Step 3: Assemble the Dish – Once the vegetables are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle the roasted vegetables with crumbled goat cheese and the maple-glazed walnuts. For an extra touch, drizzle with balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy finish (optional).
