Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 large carrots, sliced

1 cup butternut squash, peeled and cubed

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved

1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup kale, shredded (optional)

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Begin by washing and peeling all your vegetables. Dice the sweet potatoes, slice the carrots, and cube the butternut squash. Trim and cut the green beans, and halve the Brussels sprouts. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

    Sauté for Flavor: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

      Combine Ingredients: In the crockpot, combine the sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, green beans, Brussels sprouts, and sautéed onion and garlic mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes.

        Season It Up: Sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together to ensure the flavors blend.

          Cook: Set the crockpot to low and let it cook for 6-8 hours, or for a quicker option, use high for 3-4 hours until all the vegetables are tender.

            Add Kale (Optional): If using kale, stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow it to wilt without becoming overly soggy.

              Serve: Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy the heartwarming flavors of fall!
