Ingredients
- For the Squash
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

- 2 pounds (about 8 cups) assorted squash (such as kabocha, red kuri and butternut), cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions
- Make the squash: Preheat the oven to 325°. In a small bowl, combine the ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
- On a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, place the assorted squash and combine with the spices and maple syrup. Season with salt and toss until evenly combined. Cover the squash with foil and bake until tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
