This modern twist on a classic casserole is full of vibrant fall flavors. The sweetness of the apples, the tart and tangy flavor of the vinegar, combined with the buttery flavor of the squash makes for a delicious dinner that can stand alone or play the supporting role at a family potluck.

1 butternut squash, about 1 1/2 pounds, remove skin, seeds and string. Cut into 1 inch cubes

1 small onion, coarsely chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl, toss butternut, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh ginger and olive oil. Coat squash and onions completely.

Pour mixture into a glass or ceramic baking dish (or cast iron skillet). Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
