Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons red chili flakes

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 (2 pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 (1 1/2 pound) acorn squash, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1/2 cup almond slivers

1/2 orange, zested and juiced (about 1/3 cup juice and 1 tablespoon zest)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together garlic, olive oil, sugar, cumin, chili flakes and cinnamon. Add squash cubes and toss well to evenly coat. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Place on two sheet pans and bake until nicely caramelized and soft when poked with a fork, stirring squash halfway through baking, about 25 to 30 minutes. While baking, place almonds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat and toast, stirring often, until lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer squash and almonds to a serving bowl, toss with orange juice and zest, and serve.

Really good! My son is allergic to tree nuts so I skipped the almonds. Skipped the OJ too bc that just seemed weird. Fabulous without those two ingredients (and a bit simpler). Note: some seem to think these need to roast a full hour; no, it's only 25-30 mins. And skin the butternut but not the acorn squash, as stated in the ingredients.
