This dish is ‘Harvest Hug’ in our house, and it tastes like a warm embrace from autumn itself!

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss the butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
3. In a skillet, sauté the onions in olive oil over low heat until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add the fresh sage in the last 5 minutes for aromatic flavor.
4. Combine the roasted squash, caramelized onions, and maple syrup in a large bowl. Gently toss to coat everything in the sweet, savory goodness.
5. Serve warm over wild rice or mashed potatoes, garnished with extra sage for a pop of color.
