Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a large shallow baking pan with olive oil nonstick spray.

Combine squash, apples, and salt in the roasting pan; spray with olive oil nonstick spray and toss to coat. Spread the squash mixture in a single layer in the pan. Roast, stirring occasionally, until the squash and apples are tender and lightly browned, about 40 minutes.

Transfer the squash mixture to a food processor. Add orange juice, ginger, brown sugar, curry powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg; pulse until smooth. Serve at once.
