Maple-Roasted Butternut Squash

   Peel and seed the butternut squash and then cut it into 3/4 to 1 in cubes. Place the squash and the whole unpeeled garlic cloves on a sheet pan in one layer. Toss with the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper and bake for 20-30 mins, until the squash begins to brown, turning once during baking.

   Sprinkle the pancetta and the sage leaves evenly over the butternut squash and continue to bake for another 20-30 minutes, until the squash and garlic are tender and caramelized. Season to taste and serve hot with French bread for guests to spread with the roasted garlic.
