Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add the butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and red onion to the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly. Spread on the pan in a single layer.

Transfer the roasted vegetables and cooked lentils to a large bowl.
6
In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and a pinch each of salt and pepper until well-combined.
