There are so many wonderful vegetables available in the autumn months, that I just had to create this roasted fall vegetable medley of a side dish.
A little sweetness from the cranberries and crunch from the pecans bring texture and flavor to the dish. It’s a nice choice to add to your holiday side table.

Ingredients for Roasted Fall Vegetable Medley
Do you have your shopping list handy? You’re going to want to add a few things to it!
- Butternut Squash (from Melissa’s Produce)
- Sweet Potatoes (from Melissa’s Produce)
- Reconstituted Dried Cranberries
- Pecans (from Millican Pecan)
- Brown Sugar (from Dixie Crystals)
- Apple Cider Tea (from Republic of Tea)
How Do You Reconsititute Dried Cranberries?
For this recipe I used Apple Cider Tea to reconstitute them. Reconsititue means rehydrate. Plumping up the berries gives them a better texture when mixed with the other vegetables in this recipe.
You could use plain water but the Apple Cider Tea adds such great flavor that you just can’t get with water.
Recipe Tips
This is not a difficult recipe to make but butternut squash and sweet potatoes can be difficult to cut.
Tip 1: Peel the butternut squash and sweet potatoes. Discard the peelings or safe them for stock or composting.
Tip 2: Using a sharp knife and a lot of elbow grease cut both the butternut squash and sweet potato into a larger size dice but not too big. They should be bite sized.
Tip 3: Don’t use too small of a baking dish. You don’t want the vegetables crowded.
Tip 4: Toss the vegetables well so they are coated before baking.
Tip 5: Toss halfway through baking, don’t do it any sooner. You want some caramelized edges on the vegetables while they bake.
Tip 6: The butternut squash and sweet potatoes should be cooked through. Be sure to test with a fork for doneness.

Roasting vegetables gives them so much flavor. Try my roasted fingerling potatoes, peppers and onions with garlic and thyme or roasted balsamic acorn squash and shallots as a side dish all season long.
