Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your baking sheets and parchment paper for roasting.
  2. Peel and cube the butternut squash and sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Halve the Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Spread the prepared vegetables onto a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. In a saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, sugar, and vinegar. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until cranberries burst and glaze thickens.
  5. In a large serving bowl, combine the warm roasted vegetables with any additional fresh cranberries you desire.
  6. Generously drizzle the cranberry glaze over the combined roasted vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly.
  7. Top the salad with crumbled goat cheese and serve immediately while warm.
