MAPLE-GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWEET POTATOES
You can dress up this side as a whole meal by piling these sweet, warmly spiced vegetables into a grain bowl, putting them over quinoa, couscous or white rice, and adding a lean protein - or even another wintry vegetable like brussels sprouts. You could also throw an egg on top, finishing it with cracked black pepper. Just don't be tempted to put everything on one sheet pan. Using two allows for more air flow, which creates those crispy edges, a contrast to the soft middles.

Steps:
- Set 2 oven racks in the middle and bottom of the oven, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 rimmed half-sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and maple syrup, making sure they're all evenly coated. Sprinkle with the salt, cinnamon, pepper and orange zest, and, using your hands, toss the vegetables to coat them evenly in the oil and spices.
- Transfer to the baking sheets. Roast, switching the baking sheets on their racks and stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking, until the largest piece of squash is tender all the way through, about 30 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and turn on the broiler.
- Take turns placing each baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize the vegetables. Serve hot, warm or cold tossed in salad.

SWEET POTATOES WITH TSIMMES GLAZE
Traditional tsimmes is a stew of sorts that includes sweet potatoes, carrots, one or two kinds of dried fruits, and spices. It's usually served as a side dish at Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, but it also makes frequent appearances on the Passover Seder table. The word "tsimmes" sometimes means a fuss or commotion, or even a muddle. This version is anything but fussy and definitely not muddled. Here, halved sweet potatoes are simply roasted and served with a scrumptious glaze that includes prunes, orange juice, fresh ginger and a hit of lemon.

Steps:
- Position a rack on the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil.
- Rub the sweet potatoes with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on the pan cut sides down and roast on the low rack until nicely browned on the cut sides and a paring knife inserted meets no resistance, 30 to 40 minutes. If they are getting too dark on the cut sides but are not yet done, turn them over.
- Meanwhile, combine the orange juice, half of the orange zest, lemon juice, honey, cinnamon, ginger, prunes and a big pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to maintain a steady, low simmer. Cook, stirring and smashing a few prunes against the pan occasionally, until thick and syrupy about 15 minutes. Cover to keep warm.
- Arrange sweet potatoes on a serving platter cut sides up and spoon the glaze over top, rewarming with a splash of water to loosen, if needed. Sprinkle the remaining orange zest over the top.

Tips for Perfect Glazed Squashes and Sweet Potatoes:
- Choose firm, unblemished squashes and sweet potatoes. Look for ones that are heavy for their size.
- Wash the vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry before cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (425°F or higher) until they are tender and slightly browned.
- While the vegetables are roasting, make the glaze. You can use a variety of ingredients to make a glaze, such as maple syrup, honey, butter, orange juice, or balsamic vinegar.
- Brush the glaze on the vegetables during the last few minutes of roasting. This will help them caramelize and give them a shiny, delicious glaze.
