Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°F. Toss the squash, brussels sprouts, apples, and shallots in 2 tablespoons oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast till vegetables are very tender (I actually like my sprouts a bit singed) and remove from oven. Reduce oven heat to 350°F.

Heat other tablespoon of oil in a large pot. Sautee the onion and celery till translucent (about 5 to 8 min). Add the bread cubes and allow them to get golden brown with the veggies in the oil. Add a dash of salt and pepper.

Add the roasted vegetables, vegetable broth, cranberries, pecans, and seasonings. Stir the mix till the broth has almost entirely absorbed in the toasted bread. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes. Serve hot. And delicious.
