Ingredients
  

1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed

3 medium carrots, sliced into rounds

2 parsnips, peeled and chopped

1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed butternut squash, sliced carrots, chopped parsnips, red onion wedges, and halved Brussels sprouts.

      Season the Vegetables: Drizzle the olive oil and maple syrup over the vegetables. Add dried thyme, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the vegetable mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that they are spread out evenly in a single layer. This helps achieve optimal roasting.

          Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized. Stir halfway through the cooking time to promote even roasting.

            Check for Doneness: The vegetables should be fork-tender and have a beautiful golden-brown color. If needed, roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
