Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add brussels sprouts, butternut squash and apples to the baking sheet then toss in melted ghee. Top with dried thyme and rosemary along with a couple pinches of salt. Place in the oven to bake for 40 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes to help cook evenly.
