Ingredients

• 2 large Sweet potato
• 1 medium Butternut squash
• 4 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Parsnips
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, and parsnips into evenly-sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces).

Step 2

Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine all the vegetables and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Lightly grease the crock pot insert with nonstick cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.

Step 5

Place the seasoned vegetables into the crock pot and pour the vegetable broth evenly over the top.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. Stir once or twice during cooking to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Optional: 15 minutes before the cooking time is finished, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables and allow it to melt.

Step 8

Once cooked, check for doneness by piercing the vegetables with a fork to ensure they are tender.

Step 9

Serve warm directly from the crock pot, garnished with additional fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.
