Ingredients

4 cup (16-20 ounces) cubed, peeled butternut squash
1 very large honeycrisp apple, peeled, cored, cubed
1/2 large red or sweet onion, cut into ¼-inch wide wedges
2 tablespoon expeller pressed canola oil, safflower oil or sunflower oil

Directions

Step 1: Heat oven to 375F.
Step 2: Mix 4 cups cubed, peeled butternut squash, 1 cubed apple and ½ onion cut into wedges on a large, rimmed sheet pan. Toss with 2 tablespoons oil and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast, stirring every 10 minutes, until squash is almost tender, about 30 minutes.
