Ingredients
  

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed

2 cups cauliflower florets

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup vegetable broth

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

      Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Add the cubed butternut squash and cauliflower florets to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

          Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly to coat the vegetables in the spices.

            Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the squash and cauliflower are tender.

              Once the vegetables are cooked through, stir in the dried cranberries and chopped pecans, allowing them to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

                Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.
