Background
When you have the oven on roasting some meat, always use the other shelf to bake/roast some veggies, not necessarily as a side-dish for your main course, but for other meals over the following few days. This maple and cinnamon roasted squash is a dish that can be cooked in advance for salads, risottos/pilafs, cakes and so on. Of course it can be served as a side-dish with your roast meat too - it goes particularly well with game and other winter roasts. It also smells divine!
