Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds) butternut squash
- 2 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
Core and dice the apples into 1-inch pieces. Leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moons.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed butternut squash, diced apples, and sliced onions.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and fruit. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture out evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the squash is tender and caramelized at the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the maple syrup over the roasted medley. Toss gently to coat.
Serve warm as a side dish or add to a hearty grain bowl for a complete meal.
