I like vegetables. A lot. I had stocked up on butternut squash from a local farmer this past fall, so when I saw this recipe, I was anxious to give it a try. I found it in a Wegman’s magazine. It was simple to make and delicious!!
Here’s the recipe:
- 2 pkgs (20 oz each) cleaned and cut Butternut Squash, cut in 1″ cubes (I peeled and cut my own squash)
- 2 large red onions, peeled, chopped (about 4 cups)
- 3 T basting oil (I used coconut oil)
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pkg (6 oz) Baby Spinach
- 3/4 cup Sweetened Dried Cranberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine squash and onions in large shallow pan; drizzle with oil. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper; toss lightly. Roast 55 minutes, until tender and brown. Add spinach, which will wilt, and dried cranberries; toss.
Enjoy!! I sure did.
Thank you for visiting Learning And Yearning. May "the LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." Num 6:24-26

How beautiful is this!?!
Susan, have you considered adding this recipe to the Spinach Recipe Round Up at Gnowfglins?
They’ve started a new bi-weekly feature with a linky for a particular seasonal ingredient. The linky stays open and you can add as many recipe posts (old or new) as you’d like to share. They just ask that the recipe not call for processed foods, and that you link back to the relevant round up.
Anyway, I’m just an avid reader of that blog, and thought this recipe would be a great addition to the round up. Here is the link, in case you’d like to check it out: http://gnowfglins.com/2012/05/11/spinach-seasonal-recipe-round-up/

Well, thank you for the good idea! I follow Gnowfglins, but didn’t think about this since it’s an old post.

Hey, call me easy, but this recipe seeker doesn’t care when it was first posted, just that it’s yummy! Well, and not too difficult. . .
The next couple of round ups will be for rhubarb, and then strawberries, so check your archives for those recipes, too, Susan.
