Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups diced butternut squash
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
  • ½ cup cranberry juice (100% pure)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Roast vegetables: Toss the thinly sliced sweet potatoes, diced butternut squash, and sliced carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out and roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they are just tender.
  3. First layer: Arrange a layer of sweet potato slices on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese and chopped toasted walnuts over the sweet potatoes.
  4. Continue layering: Add a layer of roasted butternut squash next, followed by a layer of carrots. Keep layering the vegetables, feta, and walnuts alternately until the dish is filled, finishing with a top layer of sweet potatoes.
  5. Make glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the cranberry juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes until the mixture reduces and thickens into a glaze.
  6. Assemble and bake: Drizzle about two-thirds of the cranberry glaze evenly over the layered lasagna. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  7. Final bake: Remove the foil, drizzle the remaining glaze on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.
  8. Rest and serve: Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes out of the oven before slicing and serving to let the flavors meld and the layers set.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toast the walnuts before chopping.
  • Feta cheese can be substituted with goat cheese if preferred for a different tang.
