## Instructions
### 1. Roast the Vegetables
1. Preheat your oven to **400°F (200°C)** and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Place the cubed butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, and halved Brussels sprouts onto the baking sheets. Try not to overcrowd them so they caramelize instead of steam.
3. Drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well with your hands to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
4. Roast for **30 to 35 minutes**, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are fork-tender and have nice, caramelized edges.
### 2. Prepare the Glaze
1. While the vegetables are roasting, combine the honey, balsamic vinegar, dried cranberries, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for **3 to 4 minutes**, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries plump up slightly and the mixture thickens into a glossy glaze. Remove from heat.
### 3. Assemble and Serve
1. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large, warm serving platter.
2. Drizzle the warm cranberry-honey glaze (along with the plumped cranberries) generously over the top.
3. Scatter the crumbled feta cheese and toasted walnuts evenly across the vegetables.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy!
