Roasted Sweet Potatoes Squash Casserole

 

Roasted Sweet Potatoes Yellow Squash Casserole is loaded with a mixture of veggies.  Chopped sweet potatoes, yellow squash, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower are roasted with olive oil, onions, and prosciutto until the vegetables are tender and golden. Then it’s topped with grated Parmesan cheese makes this casserole a fabulous choice for any autumn or winter dinner, and maybe even Thanksgiving!

 

Casseroles are everyone’s favorite dishes on Thanksgiving, whether you are making a few different kinds of casseroles or just bringing one as a guest.  They are extremely easy to make, bake, and serve!

The key ingredient in this one is the Italian prosciutto which gives the vegetables a subtle, smoky flavor while not being overpowering.  It makes a world of difference in flavor!

 It’s SO GOOD!!  Everyone will ask, what is the hidden flavor? 

And, since everyone LOVES cheese on a casserole, the addition of Parmesan cheese adds more flavor without adding a lot of fat and calories.

A win-win for everyone!

 

Unlike any other casserole dishes for Thanksgiving, this one is packed with colorful vegetables adding tons of vitamins A, C, and K, beta carotene, and minerals along with aromatic flavors.

Plus, the prep work is only in the chopping of these veggies.  You may be able to find some of these veggies already cleaned and chopped for you, making the prep time quick. 

Simple, easy, and positively delicious!  A perfect casserole to serve with any entree! 

 

 

 

 

Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, this casserole is practical and convenient. 

We LOVE this one simply because it’s a  healthy alternative since it’s not loaded with tons of creams and sugars, not to mention all those extra calories.

Save all the creams and sugars for desserts!  Try this recipe, it won’t disappoint!

ENJOY!!
