Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups brussels sprouts, ends trimmed and halved
  • 3 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup raw pecans, slightly chopped
  • 1/3 cup dried cherries
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, or more to taste
  • 6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and divided (plus a little more for greasing pans)
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt, divided
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Grease both baking dishes with coconut oil and set aside.
  3. Place butternut squash in a mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of sea salt; toss to combine. Transfer squash to baking dish in a single layer and set aside while you prepare your brussels sprouts.
  4. Place brussels sprouts in a separate mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of sea salt; toss to combine. Transfer to baking dish in a single layer, cut side down.
  5. Place both baking dishes (butternut squash and brussels sprouts) in oven, and roast for a total of 25 minutes. Mid roasting, use a spatula to move both butternut squash and brussels sprouts around to keep them from burning.
