I would roast the vegetables with the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup on them, rather than put it on afterwards. The veggies soak up the flavour more!!

I use sweet potato instead of butternut squash. I’ve made this version numerous times and my family and I love it!

This was so yummy! Swapped out the squash and Brussel sprouts for sweet potatoes, added some whole garlic cloves. Added curry spice, paprika, chili powder, pepper and cumin to the lentils while boiling.
