Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups diced butternut squash
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
- ½ cup cranberry juice (100% pure)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Toss the sliced sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes until tender.
- In the greased baking dish, layer the roasted sweet potatoes at the bottom followed by feta cheese and walnuts. Continue layering with butternut squash and carrots until all ingredients are used up.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberry juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.
- Drizzle two-thirds of the glaze over the layered lasagna. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil, drizzle remaining glaze on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
