Description
A colorful and nutritious lasagna made with layers of sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots, complemented by feta cheese and a balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups diced butternut squash
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
- ½ cup cranberry juice (100% pure)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Toss your sliced sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots together in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with salt and pepper to taste. This helps bring out the flavors. Roast them on a baking sheet for about 15–20 minutes until they become just tender.
- Start layering. Begin with sweet potatoes as your base in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle some crumbled feta and chopped walnuts over the first layer.
- Add a layer of the roasted butternut squash, followed by a layer of carrots. Keep layering until you reach the top, finishing with sweet potatoes again.
- Simmer the cranberry juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes until the mixture reduces to a glaze.
- Drizzle two-thirds of the glaze over your vegetable lasagna. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil, drizzle the remaining glaze, and bake uncovered for an additional 10–15 minutes until it turns golden and bubbly.
- Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Slice vegetables evenly for uniform cooking. Don’t skip the glaze for maximum flavor. Let the lasagna rest before serving for better layering.
