ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Roasted Butternut Squash with Root Vegetables image

Even finicky folks will eat their vegetables when they're tossed with seasonings and olive oil, then roasted. To save time, our home economists suggest you peel and cut the squash, rutabagas and turnips earlier in the day. Place in resealable plastic bags and chill until ready to use.
