Directions:Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tbsp. of olive oil. Trim brussel sprouts, trim leaves, slice in 1/2. In a medium bowl, combine brussels sprouts, 2 tbsp. olive oil, salt (to taste), and toss to combine. Place onto a foil-lined baking sheet, cut side down, and roast in the oven at 400 F for about 20-25 minutes. During the last 5-10 minutes of roasting, turn them over for even browning, the cut sides should be nicely and partially charred but not blackened. ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH: Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tbsp. olive oil. In a medium bowl, combine cubed butternut squash (peeled and seeded),1 tbsp. olive oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon, and toss to mix. Place butternut squash in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once half-way through baking, until softened. NOTE: You can roast both brussel sprouts and butternut squash on 2 separate baking sheets at the same time, on the same rack in the oven.
ASSEMBLY: In a large bowl, combine roasted brussel sprouts, roasted butternut squash, pecans, and cranberries, and mix to combine. For more sweetness, add 2 or 4 tbsp. maple syrup, if desired, but add a little at a time. Toss with the salad ingredients to combine. |
