Ingredients
 

For the roast

  • 1 1/4 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 12 ounces butternut squash, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

To finish

  • 3 tablespoons honey, divided
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup (45g) dried tart cherries

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Set a rimmed baking sheet on the center rack and heat the oven to 425°F so the pan gets hot.
  • Prep the vegetables: halve the brussels sprouts (quarter any very large ones) and cut the squash into 3/4-inch cubes for even roasting.
  • In a large bowl, toss sprouts and squash with olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  • Carefully pour the vegetables onto the preheated baking sheet, arranging sprouts cut-side down. Roast for 12 minutes.
  • Pull the pan, toss everything, and drizzle 2 tablespoons of the honey over the vegetables. Return to the oven and roast until deeply caramelized and tender, 10 to 12 minutes more.
  • While the vegetables finish, stir the remaining 1 tablespoon honey with the apple cider vinegar in a large bowl. Add the dried cherries and let them sit to lightly plump, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the hot vegetables to the bowl with the honey-vinegar and cherries. Toss gently to gloss and season; adjust salt or pepper to taste and serve right away.

Notes

Tip: For easier peeling, microwave the squash for 45 to 60 seconds to loosen the skin before using a peeler.
Leftovers reheat well in a hot skillet with a splash of water to revive the glaze; add a drizzle of honey at the end if desired.
