Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Squash and yams should be about 1" cubes. They will get smaller when cooked.

In a medium bowl, combine spices, oil and vinegar into a sauce. Add cubed squash and yams about 1 cup at a time and toss well to coat all the pieces. Spread pieces in a foil lined baking pan in as close to one layer as possible.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Toss well, then bake for another 20-30 minutes or until both yams and squash are fork-tender.
