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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Core and dice the apples into 1-inch pieces. Leave the skin on for added texture and color.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moons.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed butternut squash, diced apples, and sliced onions.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Spread the mixture out evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are in a single layer for even roasting.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the squash is tender and caramelized at the edges.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the maple syrup over the roasted medley. Toss gently to coat.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or add to a hearty grain bowl for a complete meal.
