Description

Roasted butternut squash and onions are tossed with spinach, dried cranberries, and nuts for a colorful side dish during the autumn months.

Ingredients

1 butternut squash
1 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 ounces fresh spinach, stems removed and leaves torn in bite-size pieces

1/3 cup chopped pecans

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

3 Toss squash cubes, onion, and olive oil together in a bowl until coated; transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
4 Roast in the preheated oven until squash is tender and starting to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
