Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1 ½ pounds butternut squash (about 1 medium), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1 pound celery root (celeriac; about 1 large), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved

  • 4 shallots, cut into wedges

  • 1 lemon, quartered and seeded

Directions

  1. Set racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Coat 2 large rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray.

  2. Whisk oil, honey, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add squash, celery root, Brussels sprouts, shallots, and lemon; toss to coat. Divide the vegetables between the prepared pans.

  3. Roast until tender and charred, rotating the pans and stirring the vegetables halfway through, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted lemons over the vegetables.

Tips

Tip: Look for cubed butternut squash at the store for less prep work.

To make ahead: Prep vegetables and make dressing; cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When ready to cook, toss the vegetables with the dressing and roast as directed in Step 3.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
