# Directions:
01 - Toss baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, and butternut squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and caramelized. Allow to cool completely before assembling.

05 - Place roasted vegetables in compact mounds to add color and texture.
06 - Fill small bowls with mixed olives, honey or fig jam, and grainy mustard, then place the bowls on the board.
07 - Fill open spaces with marcona almonds, assorted crackers, and sliced baguette.
08 - Garnish with fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, if desired. Serve immediately at room temperature.
