• Preheat oven to 400o F.
• In a large bowl, combine the butternut squash, avocado oil, and 1/2 the cinnamon and Kosher salt, and all the cumin. Mix together, coating the squash well. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Next, in the same bowl that the butternut squash was in, toss the apple slices, onion, and carrots, to coat with the remnants. Place on a second rimmed baking sheet and add both baking sheets to the oven. Roast for 35-40 minutes until soft, stirring once.
