Ingredients
  

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced

2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved

1 red onion, cut into wedges

2 cups carrots, sliced diagonally

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup pecans, roughly chopped

¼ cup pomegranate arils (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced butternut squash, halved Brussels sprouts, red onion wedges, and sliced carrots.

      Create the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

        Dress the Veggies: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss until all the veggies are evenly coated.

          Spread on Sheet Pan: Spread the seasoned veggies evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. This ensures they roast and caramelize properly.

            Roast the Veggies: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The veggies should be tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.

              Add Pecans: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the veggies and return to the oven. This will allow them to toast slightly and enhance their flavor.

                Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh pomegranate arils and chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm as a standalone dish or as a delightful side to your favorite protein.
