Roasted Butternut Squash and Bananas

I bought a pound of pre-cut butternut squash this week planning to use it in soup, but I didn't end up having the rest of the ingredients. I didn't really know what to do with the squash so I ended up improvising a little and came up with this!

Ingredients:
-butternut squash, in chunks
-2-3 bananas (depends on how much squash you want to make)
-2 Tbs olive oil
-cinnamon
-nutmeg
-allspice

Preheat the oven to 350. Toss the squash with the olive oil and spices and arrange on a jellyroll pan. Fill in the gaps on the pan with banana slices and bake in the oven for 35 minutes.

It came out really well! Roasted bananas taste like banana bread and help sweeten the squash. If I'd had canola or vegetable oil I'd probably have used that instead of olive oil, but I don't think it makes a huge difference.
