I use sweet potato instead of butternut squash. I’ve made this version numerous times and my family and I love it!

I would roast the vegetables with the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup on them, rather than put it on afterwards. The veggies soak up the flavour more!!

Seasoned w/thyme, garlic powder & fresh garlic. I also put the dressing on prior to cooking!! DELISH!!

I used sweet potatoes instead of butternut squash, and I omitted the dressing because I’m not a huge fan of vinegar. I also used homemade vegetable broth to cook my lentils! It’s really good!!
