Ingredients
  

For the Casserole:
  • 3 large carrots sliced
  • 2 cups pumpkin cubed
  • 2-3 medium sweet potatoes cubed
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp salt & ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Pinch of cinnamon & nutmeg
Toppings:
  • ¾ cup 120g Feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup 60g Sliced almonds, toasted
  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
Maple Cranberry Glaze:
  • ½ cup 120g Cranberry sauce
  • 2 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking dish.
  2. Roast: Toss carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes with olive oil and seasonings. Spread in a single layer and roast for 35-40 minutes until tender.
  3. Toppings: Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden.
  4. Glaze: Combine glaze ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer on low until glossy and thickened.
  5. Finish: Remove veggies from oven. Top with feta, almonds, and drizzle with warm glaze. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: To maintain the texture of the roasted vegetables, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes rather than using a microwave.
  • Honey vs. Maple: For a more authentic Greek/Mediterranean profile, use a high-quality thyme honey in the glaze.
  • Herb Swap: If you don't have fresh parsley, fresh rosemary sprigs roasted alongside the vegetables add a wonderful aromatic depth.
