• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Brush the oill over the foil and the cut sides of the squash.
• Place the squash, cut side down, on the foil.
• Roast until a skewer inserted into the squash meets no resistance, about 40-50 minutes.
• Soy-Maple Glaze:.
• Stir together maple syrup, soy sauce, and ginger.
• Fifteen minutes before the squash is finished cooking, flip it cut side up and brush with the soy maple glaze. Drizzle some extra glaze into the cavity.
• Return the squash to the oven and cook until the maple mixture begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes longer.

MAPLE-GLAZED ROAST WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

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.)
• Slice the roast about 1/4 inch thick in the pan. Add the roasted vegetables to the pan with the roast. Brush everything with the glaze from the pan, cover with foil and return to the oven. 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.

MAPLE-GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat it to 375°F. Cut the squashes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and pulp and discard.
• Place the cut squash halves cut side up in a baking dish with about ½ inch of water, and cover each half tightly with foil. Bake until easily pierced with a knife but still firm, about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the type and size of squash used. Tip: If you don't have a knife sharp enough to cut the squashes in half, simply wrap in foil, place them in a casserole dish, and bake until they can be just pierced through, but are still firm. You can then cut them and remove the seeds.
• Allow the squash to cool until it is safe to handle. Peel the squashes (the skins should remove easily after baking) and cut into 1-inch chunks. Once you're ready to roast the squash, heat the oven to 425°F.
• Combine the squash chunks in a mixing bowl with all the remaining ingredients, except the fresh herbs, and stir together well. Transfer to a parchment-lined roasting pan.
• Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until nicely glazed, stirring once or twice. Serve from the pan or transfer to a covered serving container.

• Return to oven immediately and roast until tender and flesh is easily pierced through skin with skewer, 40 to 50 minutes.

MAPLE-ROASTED SQUASH WITH SAGE AND LIME FOR TWO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. If you like, line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or foil. (It's not necessary but will prove helpful when cleaning up.)
• In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine maple syrup and cayenne in a small pot. Bring to a simmer and let cook until it reduces by a third, 1 to 3 minutes. Add butter and let it melt. Turn off heat and mix in salt, pepper and coriander.
• Spread the squash out on the pan and spoon maple mixture over the pieces, turning them to coat. Roast until the pieces begin to soften, 15 minutes. Turn the squash pieces over and roast until glazed and tender, 10 to 20 minutes more. Drizzle lime juice and scatter sage leaves over the top for serving.
