Ingredients

Scale

2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
2 cups diced butternut squash
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
½ cup cranberry juice (100% pure)
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your baking dish by greasing it lightly to ensure that when the lasagna is baked, it won’t stick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced sweet potatoes, diced butternut squash, and carrots. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture, adding a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated in oil. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Once your vegetables have roasted to perfection, it’s time to layer your lasagna. Start with a generous portion of sweet potatoes, laying them down at the bottom of your greased baking dish. Sprinkle a layer of crumbled feta cheese and chopped toasted walnuts on top. Next, follow this with a layer of roasted butternut squash, then a layer of carrots. Continue layering the ingredients until your baking dish is full, finishing off with another layer of sweet potatoes on top.
In a medium saucepan, combine cranberry juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes until it reduces into a thicker glaze. Drizzle approximately two-thirds of this delightful glaze over the assembled lasagna.
Cover your lasagna with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes so that everything gets heated through. After this time, remove the foil and drizzle the remaining glaze over the top. Return the lasagna to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
Once your lasagna is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

This lasagna can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a day before baking.
