Ingredients

  • Fresh Brussels Sprouts - Order by the Pound 12 oz, halved $3.99
  • Kroger® Gold Potatoes, 5 lb (sale) 12 oz, halved $4.99
  • Butternut Squash 1 lb (about 3 heaping cups), peeled + 1-inch cubes $1.49

  • Olive oil 2 1/2 tbsp
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional) 1–2 tsp
  • Kosher salt & black pepper to taste
  • Crushed red pepper (optional) pinch

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment.
  2. Toss: On the pan, toss cubed butternut squash, halved Brussels sprouts, and halved gold potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Spread out in an even layer (cut-sides down where possible).
  3. Roast 25–35 minutes, tossing once halfway, until the squash is caramelized and potatoes are tender.
  4. While it roasts, stir together: 1/2 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, chopped sage, orange zest, 3 tbsp orange juice, 1 tbsp lime juice, and a pinch of red pepper. Add 1–2 tsp honey/maple if you want it slightly glossy-sweet.
  5. When vegetables are done, drizzle the citrus-sage mixture over the hot pan and toss 30 seconds to coat.
  6. Serve hot. Optional add-ons: toasted nuts, feta, or a can of drained chickpeas roasted alongside.

Health notes: ~550–750 calories per serving depending on oil and any added cheese/nuts. High fiber, lots of cruciferous + orange veg. Add chickpeas or white beans if you want more protein.

Drink pairing: Dry Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc (citrus + roasted veg). For non-alcoholic: sparkling water with orange or grapefruit.
