MAPLE-ROASTED SQUASH WITH SAGE AND LIME FOR TWO
Slathered with a mildly spicy maple glaze, chunks of winter squash are roasted until velvety soft and browned at the edges, then brightened with lime and fresh sage just before serving. Unless you're using a squash variety with a particularly thick rind, you don't need to peel the squash before roasting. The skins of butternut or delicata roast up wonderfully crisp, adding texture to each bite.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. If you like, line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or foil. (It's not necessary but will prove helpful when cleaning up.)
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine maple syrup and cayenne in a small pot. Bring to a simmer and let cook until it reduces by a third, 1 to 3 minutes. Add butter and let it melt. Turn off heat and mix in salt, pepper and coriander.
- Spread the squash out on the pan and spoon maple mixture over the pieces, turning them to coat. Roast until the pieces begin to soften, 15 minutes. Turn the squash pieces over and roast until glazed and tender, 10 to 20 minutes more. Drizzle lime juice and scatter sage leaves over the top for serving.
WINTER SQUASH BAKED WITH MAPLE SYRUP
This is a very simple, tried and true recipe from Fannie Farmer, with very minor changes. You must use PURE maple syrup for this to come out right. Butternut Squash can be prepared this way as well. Oh, I forgot to add, it is delicious!

ROASTED SQUASH, PARSNIPS & CARROTS
After a trip to the farmers' market this fall I was looking for a simple way to enjoy some of the season's best vegetables. This combination fit the bill. The sugar in the rice wine vinegar really helps with the carmelization of the dish and adds a pleasing tang to this side dish.
