Description
A layered sweet potato and squash vegetable bake with feta, walnuts, and cranberry glaze. A stunning vegetarian centerpiece.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 cups butternut squash, cut into thin slices
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
- 1/2 cup 100 percent cranberry juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Place sliced sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots on two baking sheets. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat and spread in a single layer.
- Roast for 18 to 20 minutes until just tender but not fully soft. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Arrange a layer of sweet potatoes on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle with some feta and walnuts.
- Add a layer of squash, followed by carrots, repeating the feta and walnut layers between vegetables. Continue layering until all vegetables are used, finishing with a layer of sweet potatoes on top.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberry juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 6 to 8 minutes until slightly thickened and syrupy.
- Drizzle two thirds of the glaze evenly over the layered vegetables. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, drizzle the remaining glaze over the top, and bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes until the top is lightly caramelized and the vegetables are fully tender.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
Notes
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in a 325 degree F oven until warmed through.
