Ingredients
  

2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 medium red onion, sliced

2 medium carrots, chopped

1 cup butternut squash, cubed

1/4 cup apple cider

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup

2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, red onion, carrots, and butternut squash.

      Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider, olive oil, maple syrup, thyme, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

        Toss Together: Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss until they are well-coated with the mixture.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned veggies in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps to ensure even roasting.

            Roast: Place in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized around the edges.

              Add Pecans: If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the veggies during the last 5 minutes of roasting to toast them lightly.

                Garnish: Once done, remove the veggies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

                  Serve: Enjoy these flavorful Apple Cider Roasted Veggies warm as a delightful side dish or as part of a cozy autumn meal!
