When holiday season hits and everyone is in search of a potato recipe, try this dish: roasted sweet potatoes and squash with brown sugar and spices. It might sound redundant to add sugar to sweet potatoes, but don't worry: This recipe is layered with flavor. The addition of squash, cinnamon, and nutmeg balances out the sweetness delightfully. It takes 15 minutes to prepare this side dish for 6, so double the recipe if you have to and throw 'em in the oven. These veggies aren't reserved for the holidays, though: Make them at the beginning of the week when you meal-prep and enjoy for the next few days. It's as simple as that!
