📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Place the diced butternut squash and halved Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

3. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

4. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the maple-mustard vinaigrette by whisking together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

5. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed baby greens, thinly sliced apple, dried cranberries, toasted pecans, and crumbled goat cheese.

6. Once the roasted vegetables have cooled slightly, add them to the salad bowl.

7. Drizzle the salad with the prepared maple-mustard vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.

8. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavors of autumn in every bite!
