Ingredients

    Butternut squash, 20 oz. package = 566 grams
    Red onions, sliced, 1/2 cup or more if you like more
    Cranberries dried, sweetened - 1 Tbsp. or more, but they increase the count a bit
    Fresh baby spinach, 3 cups
    1 T. extra-virgin olive oil - you could use grapeseed oil but it's more expensive
    1 T. each of dried thyme and parsley
    1/4 tsp. garlic salt

Directions

Cut squash into 1 inch cubes, mix with red onion slices, cranberries, olive oil, thyme, parsley and garlic salt.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 350 degrees until slightly browned.
Stir in spinach, cover for a few minutes to encourage spinach to wilt a bit, and enjoy!
