Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups diced butternut squash
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- to taste Salt
- to taste black pepper
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
- ½ cup cranberry juice (100% pure)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish to avoid sticking.
- Prepare the vegetables by tossing the sliced sweet potatoes, diced butternut squash, and thinly sliced carrots in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 15–20 minutes until they are just tender.
Layering
- Layer the roasted vegetables starting with a layer of sweet potatoes at the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle some crumbled feta and chopped walnuts over the sweet potatoes.
- Continue layering with the roasted butternut squash followed by a layer of carrots. Repeat the process until you run out of vegetables, finishing with a top layer of sweet potatoes.
Baking
- Prepare the glaze by simmering the cranberry juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan for 5–7 minutes or until it reduces into a glaze.
- Drizzle two-thirds of the glaze over the layered lasagna. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Uncover the lasagna, drizzle the remaining glaze over the top, and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until it’s golden and bubbly.
Serving
- Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This resting time helps the layers firm up, making it easier to cut and serve.
Notes
Roasting Time: Keep an eye on the vegetables while roasting; you want them to be tender but not fully cooked. Substitutions: Feel free to swap feta cheese for a dairy-free option or omit the nuts for a nut-free variation. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
