MAPLE-GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWEET POTATOES
You can dress up this side as a whole meal by piling these sweet, warmly spiced vegetables into a grain bowl, putting them over quinoa, couscous or white rice, and adding a lean protein - or even another wintry vegetable like brussels sprouts. You could also throw an egg on top, finishing it with cracked black pepper. Just don't be tempted to put everything on one sheet pan. Using two allows for more air flow, which creates those crispy edges, a contrast to the soft middles.

Steps:
- Set 2 oven racks in the middle and bottom of the oven, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 rimmed half-sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and maple syrup, making sure they're all evenly coated. Sprinkle with the salt, cinnamon, pepper and orange zest, and, using your hands, toss the vegetables to coat them evenly in the oil and spices.
- Transfer to the baking sheets. Roast, switching the baking sheets on their racks and stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking, until the largest piece of squash is tender all the way through, about 30 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and turn on the broiler.
- Take turns placing each baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize the vegetables. Serve hot, warm or cold tossed in salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash, kabocha squash, and sweet potatoes are all great options. They are all relatively easy to find and have a sweet, nutty flavor that pairs well with the glaze.
- Cut the squash into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not cook through evenly.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil will help to coat the squash and vegetables and prevent them from sticking to the pan. It will also add a nice flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are cooking the squash and vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may cause them to steam instead of roast.
- Roast the squash and vegetables until they are tender: The squash and vegetables should be tender when pierced with a fork. If they are not tender, continue to roast them for a few more minutes.
- Make the glaze while the squash and vegetables are roasting: The glaze can be made while the squash and vegetables are roasting. This will save you time and ensure that the glaze is ready when the squash and vegetables are done.
- Brush the squash and vegetables with the glaze: Once the squash and vegetables are roasted, brush them with the glaze. This will give them a nice shine and help them to caramelize.
- Serve the squash and vegetables immediately: The squash and vegetables are best served immediately after they are roasted. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
This recipe for glazed squashes and sweet potato is a delicious and easy way to enjoy these healthy vegetables. The squash and vegetables are roasted until tender and then brushed with a sweet and tangy glaze. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or for a special occasion.
