Description
A vibrant and nutritious twist on traditional lasagna, featuring layers of roasted sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, crumbled feta, and walnuts, all drizzled with a sweet cranberry 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.
- Toss the thinly sliced sweet potatoes, diced butternut squash, and sliced carrots in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until just tender.
- Once roasted, begin layering the sweet potatoes at the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle a layer of crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts over the sweet potatoes.
- Next, add a layer of butternut squash, followed by the sliced carrots. Continue layering the vegetables along with more feta and walnuts until the dish is full. Finish with another layer of sweet potatoes on top.
- In a saucepan, simmer the cranberry juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar for 5 to 7 minutes until reduced to a glaze.
- Drizzle two-thirds of the glaze over the lasagna. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the foil and drizzle the remaining glaze over the top. Bake uncovered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the lasagna is golden and bubbling.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can blend the feta with yogurt before layering.
