Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 1 large red beet, peeled and chopped
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed or olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (you can add an additional teaspoon if you would like to sweeten the veggies even more)
For Serving
- Zest of 1 orange (optional)
- Dried oregano
- Toasted walnuts
- Pistachios
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel and chop the butternut squash and beet into 1/2 inch cubes. Place them in a mixing bowl and add oil, salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Toss well using your hands and make sure the veggies are all evenly coated. Lay the vegetables out on a large (or two smaller) baking sheet in a single layer and roast veggies for 40-50 minutes, stirring once half-way through roasting. Place oven on the broil setting for 3-5 minutes in order to crisp up the veggies.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with dried oregano, orange zest, and additional salt if desired. Serve with walnuts and pistachios.
