ROASTED BEET, BUTTERNUT SQUASH & APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Arrange two oven racks evenly spaced.
• Place the beets on a sheet pan, toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and spread out in one layer. On a second sheet pan, toss the butternut squash and apples with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and spread out in one layer. Roast both pans of vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing occasionally, until everything is tender and lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, for the vinaigrette, heat 1/3 cup olive oil in a small saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallot and cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Over low heat, whisk in the balsamic vinegar, orange zest, orange juice, honey, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Keep warm.
• Place the roasted vegetables and fruit in a large bowl. Add the arugula and vinaigrette and toss well. Sprinkle with the almonds and serve warm.

COLCANNON WITH ROASTED SQUASH AND APPLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place squash on baking sheet and toss with olive oil and salt to taste until lightly coated. Place apple on baking sheet and rub with oil. Place about a teaspoon of butter in the cavity where the core was. Place in oven and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring squash every 10 minutes, until squash is tender and lightly colored and the apple is soft and falling apart. If the apple is done before the squash, remove it from the oven and set aside on a plate.
• Allow apple to cool until you can handle it, then peel and scrape any pulp clinging to the peel into a bowl. Core and combine baked apple with roasted squash.
• Meanwhile, place potatoes in a saucepan and cover by an inch with water. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce heat to medium-low and cover partially. Boil gently until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, return to pot and cover pot tightly. Let steam in the dry pot for 5 minutes.
• Heat milk and butter together until butter melts. Mash potatoes, squash and apple with a potato masher or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, or put through a food mill. Add milk and butter and mix until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
