1 to 2 whole carrots, sliced

1 plant-based curry seasoning pack

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 onion, diced

Black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating the oven to 385F. This will ensure that your curry butternut squash bake cooks evenly and develops a delicious caramelized exterior.
2. Prepare the Veggies: Peel and Dice the butternut squash into bite-sized cubes. If you’re short on time, many grocery stores offer pre-cut squash for convenience. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Slice the carrot into thin rounds. The vibrant orange hue of the carrots adds a pop of color to the dish.
3. Mix the seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the plant-based curry seasoning pack with minced garlic and diced onions. The aromatic blend of spices will infuse the veggies with a layer of flavor.
4. Assemble the bake: In a small bowl, toss the diced butternut squash, broccoli florets, and sliced carrots with the prepared seasoning mixture. Ensuring that the veggies are evenly coated, allowing the spices to penetrate every nook and cranny. Sprinkle black pepper over the seasoned veggies to add a subtle hint of heat and depth to the dish. Adjust the amount according to your taste preferences, keeping in mind that a little goes a long way.
5. Bake til Golden: Transfer the seasoned veggies to a baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer. Cover the dish with aluminum foil, sealing in the flavors and moisture. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and caramelized around the edges.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the curry butternut squash is bake is cooked to golden perfections, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve this delectable dish as a hearty main or a flavorful side dish alongside your favorite grain or protein. (I paired with Rice or potatoes). Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra pop of color and flavor.
