Butternut Squash Coconut Curry

1. 1
   Place cubed butternut squash on a foil lined baking sheet, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
2. 2
   Sprinkle generously with curry powder, salt and pepper, and roast at 350 for 35-45 minutes, or until tender. You still want them to hold their shape when added to the curry, and not be mush :>.
3. 3
   While squash cooks, heat 1-2 tsp of canola oil over medium heat.
4. 4
   Add onions and a little bit of salt, and saute 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.

   Next, add the curry powder, cumin, corriander and cinnamon, and stir to coat the onions evenly with spices.
6. 6
   Add tomatoes with their juices, and the chickpeas, stir to combine.
7. 7
   Next, add the spinach, stirring to coat with cooking liquid.
8. 8
   When all the spinach is added to the pan, cover and simmer until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
9. 9
   Add coconut milk and gently stir to combine.
