-2 fennel bulbs, cored and sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices
-2 green apples, cored, peeled and chopped into 1 inch chunks
-1 sweet onion, cut into 1 ½ inch chunks
-¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
-2 tablespoons butter
-1 orange, juiced
-3 tablespoons cream or milk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put squash, fennel, apples and onion onto a large sheet pan or roasting pan. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
