Ingredients

  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 (6-ounce) package fresh baby spinach
  • Garnish: Cracked black pepper

Preparation

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450°.
  • 2. Toss together first 8 ingredients in a large bowl until vegetables are evenly coated. Spread in a single layer in 1 (15- x 10- x 1-inch) jellyroll pan or 2 (13- x 9-inch) baking dishes.
  • 3. Roast, stirring once halfway through cook time, at 450° for 30 minutes or until edges of vegetables are light brown and tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
  • 4. Remove pan from oven. Add spinach to pan; toss gently with vegetable mixture until spinach is slightly wilted. Garnish, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
Note:

When roasting vegetables, take care not to crowd your pan or else the vegetables will steam instead of caramelizing and browning around the edges.
