Maple Roasted Golden Hubbard Squash with Sage Butter
Golden Hubbard tends to have a great consistency but can lack in flavor and sweetness. A little maple syrup goes a long way in bringing out the flavors of this lovely squash.

This roast is an Anderson family favorite. It calls for five spice powder (I don’t recommend omitting), which the Asian markets carry for 89 cents as of the time of this writing. While you’re there, grab some hoisin, fresh ginger and soy sauce, and give this one a try. It’a a great way to enjoy those larger tougher (and less expensive) cuts of pork (such as Boston Butt), plus it makes lots and the leftovers are great! Serve with peas, bok choy, slivered apples, or whatever similar fresh side is in season.
I used a standard balsamic vinegar for the slaw tonight, in the future I would change it to a white balsamic to lighten the color of the slaw dressing.
