Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 2 lbs) butternut squash
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 3 large carrots
• 2 cups mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and dice it into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Add to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets and whole or halved mushrooms to the same bowl (depending on their size).

Step 5

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, lemon juice, and sprinkle with lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 6

Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping to allow even roasting.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or pair with quinoa, rice, or your favorite protein for a complete meal.
