• 4 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Parsnips
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, and parsnips into evenly-sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces).

2. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

3. In a large bowl, combine all the vegetables and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

4. Lightly grease the crock pot insert with nonstick cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.

5. Place the seasoned vegetables into the crock pot and pour the vegetable broth evenly over the top.

6. Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. Stir once or twice during cooking to ensure even cooking.

7. Optional: 15 minutes before the cooking time is finished, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables and allow it to melt.

8. Once cooked, check for doneness by piercing the vegetables with a fork to ensure they are tender.

9. Serve warm directly from the crock pot, garnished with additional fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.
