Wow your dinner guests this winter. Roasting the squash caramelizes it to perfection, while adding crispy sage at the last minute adds color and flavor. If you’re looking for an alternative to sugar sweet potato casseroles, this healthy option is it.

It seems like a step is missing from this. It says to toss the squash with oil, and then it skips straight to "Remove from oven, stir and continue roasting for 10 to 15 *more* minutes, until squash is browned and tender." How many minutes should the squash go in for to begin with?

Hi Burton - you're correct! We have fixed this in the recipe. The squash should initially roast for 20 mins. Be sure that the squash is in a single layer on the baking sheet so it can cook evenly.
