Sugar Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Squash

Don’t you just love the aromas and flavors of fall? They’re all so sweet and earthy.

Now that Thanksgiving is upon us I decided to pay homage to my favorite veggies by highlighting their natural sweetness.

This delicious Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Squash is super easy to make, ideal for large crowds and it features acorn squash, the easiest yellow squash to cut since it does not require peeling.

The lack of elaborate ingredients helps to highlight their natural flavors without “dressing” them up. They are so delicious that adding cheeses, creams, or sauces, would really diminish their delicateness.

To garnish, I added some fig wedges and cranberries, you can certainly use herbs, mini pumpkins, or any complimenting ingredient you have on hand.

If you’re worried about your large Thanksgiving menu, this recipe can be prepped the day before and roasted at the last minute. Plus, it does not require babysitting.

That’s why I don’t wait for a holiday to make it, it’s perfect for a weeknight dinner side dish or even a small party or get-together.

Acorn Squash and Sweet Potatoes are very compatible. They have different textures but similar sweetness. If you can’t find acorn squash, use butternut.

As the year’s pass,  I learn something new when it comes to hosting a Thanksgiving dinner. The most valuable lessons are: less is more, plan, prep ahead, and relax. You got this.

I hope you can try this delicious Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Squash at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
