Prep Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 45 mins Servings: 6 Difficulty: EasyIngredients 2 cups diced pumpkin 2 cups diced sweet potato 2 cups grated carrots 1 cup crumbled feta cheese 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Salt and pepper to taste Fresh rosemary for garnish See more on the next page Advertisement Instructions Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine diced pumpkin, sweet potato, and grated carrots. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Toss well to coat. Transfer the vegetable mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. In a separate bowl, mix the crumbled feta cheese and sliced almonds. Sprinkle this mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the topping is golden brown. While the bake is cooking, prepare the maple cranberry drizzle by combining maple syrup and dried cranberries in a small saucepan. Heat on low until the cranberries soften, about 5 minutes. Once the bake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the maple cranberry mixture over the top just before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary for an aromatic finish. Chef’s Tips For added flavor, consider roasting the veggies before combining them with the other ingredients. You can substitute the feta with goat cheese for a different taste. Try adding some crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat!
