Maple Roast Vegetables

Roasting is one of the best techniques for getting the maximum amount of flavor out of vegetables. They become super tender, sweet on the inside and a bit caramelized on the outside.

Ingredients

  • 7 carrots, peeled, sliced in half lengthwise, then cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into large chunks
  • 1 delicata squash, unpeeled, split lengthwise, seeds removed and cut into half moons (you could also use peeled butternut squash or a combination of the two)
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher or sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Place all the vegetables on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat all the vegetables and sprinkle with salt. Alternatively at this point you can place the vegetables in a large zipper bag and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Roast for 45-50 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until tender and golden.
  4. Remove the vegetables from the oven, drizzle with maple syrup and roast an additional 5 minutes or until caramelized and golden. 
  5. Serve with additional salt to taste. 

Notes

  • To Peel or Not Peel: Butternut squash you need to peel, but if you select other options as well like delicata or acorn, they actually don't need to be peeled! The skin will add a lot of fiber.
  • Make it Easy: You can often find already peeled and cubed butternut squash in the produce section to help you save time.
  • Make it Ahead: I'm all about saving time, especially when you are making a bunch of dishes all at once. You can chop and add the oil to the veggies the night before and pop in the fridge in an airtight container or bag.
