18 - 2 tablespoons honey
19 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
20 - 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
21 - 1 teaspoon orange zest

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine sweet potatoes, pumpkin or butternut squash, and carrots with olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl, tossing until coated.
02 - Spread seasoned vegetables evenly on baking trays. Roast for 18–22 minutes until vegetables are fork-tender.
03 - In a bowl, blend feta cheese, ricotta cheese, lemon juice, dried oregano, and honey together until smooth and creamy.
04 - Place walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and toss with a small amount of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
05 - In a saucepan, combine cranberries, honey, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and orange zest. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until cranberries are softened and the glaze is glossy.
06 - In a baking dish, layer roasted vegetables and spread a portion of the cheese mixture between each layer. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
07 - Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake the assembled dish for 15 minutes until heated through.
08 - Remove from oven, top with toasted walnuts, and drizzle evenly with prepared cranberry-honey glaze.
09 - Allow the layered dish to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure vegetables are sliced evenly for uniform roasting and consistent layering.
02 - For a vegetarian entrée, serve alongside a crisp green salad or whole-grain bread.
