Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Butternut Squash

Makes 6 cups, approximately 10 to 12 servings

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half (approximately 4 cups)
1 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into large cubes (approximately 3 cups)
5 ounces roasted peeled chestnuts (3/4 cup)
14 ounces frozen pearl onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
5 sage leaves, stems removed, sliced crosswise into thin ribbons
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine the Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, chestnuts, and pearl onions in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and stir to combine, coating all of the ingredients evenly with the oil.
Spread the vegetables out into an even layer on a large baking sheet or roasting pan.
Roast the vegetables for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are nicely caramelized and fork-tender.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and, while still hot, drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with sage, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a warm serving dish and serve immediately.
