How to cook deliciously - The Jewel Toned Veggie Side Dish We're Making On Repeat All Season Long

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. Stage

Roast the cubed butternut squash: Place cubed butternut squash in a bowl and toss with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Spread onto a lined baking sheet. Roast in oven for 25 minutes or until the squash is cooked through and browned on the edges.

3. Stage

Sauté the onions and garlic: minutes into roasting the butternut squash, start on the onions. Heat olive oil on medium high heat in a thick-bottomed 4 to 5 quart pot. Add the sliced red onion and toss to coat. Let cook for 7 to 8 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook a minute more.

4. Stage

Add the balsamic and kale: Add the balsamic vinegar and the shredded kale. Stir until the kale is mixed well with the onions (it helps to use tongs to turn over the kale). Let cook for a minute or two until the kale is just wilted (don't overcook).

5. Stage

Add the roasted squash, dried cranberries, pecans: Then stir in the roasted butternut squash, the dried sweetened cranberries, and pecans. Add salt and pepper to taste.
