Total Time
45 min
Ingredients
- 3 cups Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed, yellow leaves removed
- Salt, to taste
- 1 and ½ pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed into 1-inch cubes (Yields about 4 cups of uncooked cubed butternut squash)
- 5 tablespoons Sunnyland Pecan oil
- 5 tablespoons Sunnyland Gallberry Honey
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Other Ingredients
- 2 cups Sunnyland pecan halves
- 1 cup Sunnyland Flame Raisins
Roasted Brussels sprouts
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of pecan oil.
- Make sure Brussels sprouts have trimmed ends and yellow leaves are removed. Then, slice all Brussels sprouts in half. In a medium bowl, combine halved Brussels sprouts, 2 tablespoons of pecan oil, salt (to taste), and toss to combine. Place onto a foil-lined baking sheet, cut side down, and roast in the oven at 400 F for about 20-25 minutes. During the last 5-10 minutes of roasting, turn them over for even browning, the cut sides should be nicely and partially charred but not blackened.
Roasted butternut squash
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of pecan oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine cubed butternut squash (peeled and seeded),1 tablespoon of pecan oil, honey, and cinnamon, and toss to mix.
- Place butternut squash in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once half-way through baking, until softened.
- _Note:_You can roast both Brussels sprouts and butternut squash on 2 separate baking sheets at the same time, on the same rack in the oven – that’s what I did.
Assembly
- In a large bowl, combine roasted Brussels sprouts, roasted butternut squash, pecans, and raisins, and mix to combine. (OPTIONAL): For more sweetness, add 2 or 4 tablespoons of honey, if desired – do not add all honey at once, start with 2 tablespoons, then add more, if desired, and toss with the salad ingredients to combine.
