09 -
¾ cup unsweetened cranberry juice
10 -
3 tablespoons honey
11 -
1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until just tender but not mushy.
02 -
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and arrange a layer of roasted sweet potatoes on the bottom. Sprinkle with one-third of the crumbled feta and toasted walnuts. Repeat layering with roasted butternut squash and carrots, adding feta and walnuts between layers, finishing with sweet potatoes on top.
03 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberry juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 -
Drizzle two-thirds of the glaze evenly over the layered vegetables. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes to meld flavors and heat through.
05 -
Remove foil, drizzle remaining glaze over the top, and return to oven uncovered. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let rest at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow layers to set.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thin vegetable slices to ensure even roasting and a neat presentation.
02 -
Resting the dish before slicing helps maintain layer definition and prevents crumbling.
03 -
The glaze can be prepared up to three days in advance and refrigerated.
