Servings: 6
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 35 minutes mins

Ingredients

  • 16 ounce bag cubed butternut squash
  • 16- ounce bag Brussels sprouts halved
  • 2 medium beets, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray. 
  • Add the butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and beets to the baking sheet, making separate rows of each. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the veggies to combine, keeping them in separate rows (if you combine all of them the beets will change the color of the other veggies).
