    Does roasting ever seem a little bit like magic? You start with a handful of pungent raw onions and a forbiddingly hard knob of winter squash, and half an hour later, you pull out a tray of savory-sweet, fork-tender goodness with crispy caramelized edges.

    Maybe it’s not exactly turning lead to gold, but it’s got to be pretty close!

    Roasted Acorn Squash And Shallots

    In this recipe, chopping up the squash into smaller pieces lets you get away with the relatively short cooking time (not to mention giving you a lot more crispy golden edges to enjoy).

    And the shallots add a nice flavor variety and some extra sweetness. Shallots are smaller, slightly milder onions – they have a less intense onion-y flavor that makes them very pleasant to eat.

    This is a great choice of vegetable dish for kids since it really is pretty sweet, not to mention colorful. It’s solid enough to stand up to pot roast or brisket but also tasty with something as light as chicken breast if that’s on the menu.

    Another thing you could do would be to chop up the roasted vegetables over your favorite greens for an instant warm side salad to go with soup or chili.
