Roasted Squash

Contributed by Floyd Cardoz

Top Chef Masters winner Floyd Cardoz finishes his spice-roasted squash with tangy lime and sweet honey.

In a large pot, heat the oil. Add the cloves, star anise pods, dried chipotle chiles, rosemary sprigs and ginger, and cook 2 minutes, stirring. Stir in the winter squash and roast at 375° until tender, about 30 minutes. Discard the cloves, anise, chiles and rosemary. Season with honey, lime, salt and pepper.
