🥔 Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash Stuffed Sweet Potato Boat with Cranberries and Goat Cheese 🧀

A heartwarming dish that brings the family together with every savory bite!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 1/2 cups butternut squash, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1 1/2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for garnish)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork. Place them on a separate baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
3. While the sweet potatoes are baking, toss the Brussels sprouts and butternut squash with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and tender.
4. Let the baked sweet potatoes cool slightly. Slice each one lengthwise down the center and gently scoop out a little of the flesh to make space for the filling. Fluff the remaining sweet potato with a fork.
5. Fill each sweet potato with the roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash mixture. Top with dried cranberries and crumbled goat cheese.
6. Sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch, if desired. Drizzle with maple syrup for a touch of sweetness, and garnish with fresh parsley.
