👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- 🔥 Preheat the oven
→ Set oven to 200°C (400°F)
→ Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it - 🔪 Prep all vegetables
→ Peel and cube the butternut squash into medium-sized chunks
→ Cut potatoes into similar-sized cubes for even cooking
→ Trim and halve Brussels sprouts
→ Wash carrots and leave whole or slice lengthwise - 🧄 Make garlic oil mix
→ In a bowl, combine olive oil with minced garlic
→ Let it sit for 2–3 minutes so the flavor infuses nicely - 🥕 Arrange veggies on tray
→ Place each vegetable in separate sections (like in the image)
→ Keep carrots together, squash together, sprouts together, etc.
→ This helps control cooking and gives a beautiful presentation - 🫒 Coat with flavor
→ Drizzle garlic olive oil over all vegetables
→ Toss lightly or brush so every piece is coated
→ Make sure not to overcrowd—leave a little space between pieces - 🍇 Add cranberries
→ Scatter cranberries over one section (or across the tray)
→ They’ll become soft and slightly jammy when baked - 🫕 Roast to perfection
→ Place tray in oven and bake for 25–30 minutes
→ Flip/stir vegetables halfway through for even roasting - 🔥 Final roasting touch
→ Bake another 10–15 minutes until edges are golden and slightly crispy
→ Carrots should be tender, squash soft, and sprouts nicely browned - ⏳ Rest & serve
→ Let the tray rest for 5 minutes after removing from oven
→ Serve warm directly from tray or plate beautifully

✔️ Keep in fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in oven for best texture.
