SEPHARDIC SWEET POTATOES AND SQUASH



Sephardic Sweet Potatoes and Squash image

I was looking through (forgive me) another recipe site, and found this. I have been making it for the last four Thanksgivings. It has become a "traditional" Thanksgiving side dish (and for any other meal). I made it the first year and brought it to my daughter-in-law's house, now three years later, she is making it for Thanksgiving.It can be used with chicken and pot roast too) The peeling & cutting of the potatoes and squash is a little bit of a bother, but it's worth the work. You will love this dish! I usually double the ingredients so we will have leftovers.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb acorn squash (I've only used butternut) or 1 lb butternut squash (I've only used butternut)
1 lb sweet potatoes or 1 lb yam
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Peel the squash and sweet potatoes.
  • Cut both the sweet potatoes and the squash into 1 inch cubes. Place most of the oil in the pan (I use a 9-inch13"), and add the sweet potatoes and the squash and bake, covered with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes is up, remove dish from oven and remove foil.
  • Add cranberries (I use more than 1/4 cup).
  • Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on top and dribble with remaining oil (again, I use a little more of the sugar, cinnamon and oil).
  • Bake uncovered at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until well browned.
