👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep Vegetables

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
  • Toss sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper
  • Lightly roast for 10–15 minutes to soften (this helps layering)

2. Make Filling

  • In a bowl, mix:
    • Feta
    • Ricotta (if using)
    • Eggs
    • Garlic & herbs
  • Stir until creamy but slightly chunky

3. Prepare Cranberry Glaze

  • In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, honey, vinegar, and liquid
  • Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thick and glossy
  • Lightly mash for a jam-like texture

4. Assemble Layers

In a greased baking dish:

  1. Sweet potato layer
  2. Feta mixture
  3. Butternut squash
  4. Sprinkle walnuts
  5. Carrots + drizzle glaze

👉 Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with veggies + glaze + walnuts on top


5. Bake

  • Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes
  • Uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and set

6. Rest & Serve

  • Let rest 10 minutes before slicing
  • This helps it hold its “lasagna” shape
