Ingredients
- 1 whole delicata squash medium size
- 1 whole cauliflower small
- 1 tbsp olive oil plus more for coating squash and cauliflower
- 3 whole carrots
- 1 whole sweet or yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp lemon pepper optional
- 1 pinch fennel
- 1 carton Veggie broth
- 1/2 cup fried onions for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 F
- Cut the squash and cauliflower into quarters. Scoop the seeds and pulp out of squash.
- Cover the squash and cauliflower in olive oil and massage thoroughly into all crevices.
- Place cauliflower and squash, skin side up, on a tray and roast in the oven for 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sauté onions and carrots in a your soup pot with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon pepper, fennel, and salt. Cook until onions begin to turn translucent and carrots are soft.
