Number Of Ingredients 11

1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
2 butternut squash, quartered and seeded, each quarter halved
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning, divided
8 teaspoons cajun seasoning, divided
4 large onions, halved and sliced
4 medium bell peppers, quartered and sliced (red or green)
8 large celery ribs, sliced on the bias
5 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
