MAPLE-GLAZED ROAST WITH WINTER VEGETABLES
Makini Howell knows a thing or two about hosting a plant-based holiday: She was raised vegan, and she has served a four-course Thanksgiving dinner at her Seattle restaurant, Plum Bistro, since it opened in 2009. Her recipes come from her family and include a smoked seitan roast developed by her late father. "I wanted to serve something that looked like a ham or turkey for that familiar feeling," she says. Assuming most people don't want to make their own seitan, Makini adapted the recipe to focus on the rich maple glaze, which you can use to dress up a store-bought roast.

Steps:
- Make the glaze: Whisk the melted butter, mustard, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder in a bowl; season liberally with salt and pepper. Set the glaze aside.
- Cook the roast: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Place the roast in a roasting pan or baking dish and pour the glaze on top. Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake 5 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the vegetables: Put the vegetables on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil; add the garlic, season with salt and pepper and toss. Roast until almost fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. (If mixing vegetables, note that they may be done at different times.)

Roast about 10 minutes, then remove the foil and continue roasting until the glaze starts to bubble and caramelize and the vegetables are fork-tender, about 10 more minutes.

BROWN-SUGAR-GLAZED WINTER SQUASH
Based on a recipe from Cook's Country magazine, October/November 2005. The intro to the recipe advises, "Don't mix the brown sugar and butter ahead of time; it will crystallize and separate. Butternut squash can be stringy when undercooked, so if you're not sure, err on the side of overcooking." I've included instructions for cooking small winter squash, such as acorn, delicata, and sweet dumpling since they cook more quickly and require less glaze.

MAPLE-ROASTED SQUASH WITH SAGE AND LIME FOR TWO
Slathered with a mildly spicy maple glaze, chunks of winter squash are roasted until velvety soft and browned at the edges, then brightened with lime and fresh sage just before serving. Unless you're using a squash variety with a particularly thick rind, you don't need to peel the squash before roasting. The skins of butternut or delicata roast up wonderfully crisp, adding texture to each bite.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: For this recipe, denser winter squashes like butternut, acorn, or kabocha work best. They hold their shape well and have a sweet, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the maple glaze.
- Cut the squash evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the squash into uniform-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the squash, make sure to spread the pieces out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the squash from roasting evenly and may result in steamed squash instead of roasted squash.
- Roast the squash until tender: The squash is done roasting when it is tender when pierced with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the squash, as this will make it mushy.
- Make the maple glaze ahead of time: The maple glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights when you don't have a lot of time to cook.
Conclusion:
This winter squash with maple glaze is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any fall or winter meal. The squash is roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, and the maple glaze adds a touch of sweetness and richness. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
