Sweet and Spicy Roasted Vegetables
Ingredients
5 medium carrots, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1-1/2 cups)
2 small red onions, each cut into 8 wedges (trim the root end but leave intact to hold layers together)
2 medium red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 11/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
1-1/2 lb. butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme
Directions
Position a rack in the center of the oven, put a rimmed baking sheet on the rack, and heat the oven to 450°F.
In a large bowl, toss the carrots, onions, bell peppers, and squash with 1 Tbs. of the oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables on the hot baking sheet in a single layer and roast until tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
Heat the remaining 1 Tbs. oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the spices and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the honey and thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drizzle the spice mixture over the roasted vegetables and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
