ingredients

• Nonstick vegetable oil spray
• 1 1/2 pounds winter squash, peeled, cut into 3x0.5 inch wedges
• 1 1/2 pounds rutabagas, peeled, cut into 0.5 inch-thick wedges
• 1 1/4 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), cut into 2x0.75 inch wedges
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Combine squash, rutabagas, and sweet potatoes in large bowl. Add oil and cayenne and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread vegetable mixture on prepared baking sheet. Roast until vegetables are tender, stirring and turning occasionally, about 1 hour. (Vegetables can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Let stand on baking sheet at room temperature. Rewarm in 350 degrees oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.)

Transfer vegetable mixture to bowl. Add red onion, chives, and vinegar, toss to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
