Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425o.

In a large bowl, mix together garlic, olive oil, sugar, cumin, chili flakes, and cinnamon. Add squash cubes and toss well to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Place on 2 sheet pans and bake until nicely caramelized and soft when poked with a fork, stirring halfway through baking, about 25-30 minutes.

while baking, place slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat and toast, stirring often, until lightly golden, about 4 minutes.

Transfer squash and almonds to a serving bowl, toss with orange juice and zest, and serve.
