Here’s a savory dish that will warm your holiday table. Our version of the classic au gratin adds DOLE® Organic Super Spinach for a contemporary twist.

Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Arrange butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips and Brussels sprouts on two baking pans. Spritz vegetables with nonstick olive oil spray and season with salt. Roast vegetables 20 minutes or until soft. Set aside
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Add ginger, cumin and flour; stir consistently for 2 minutes. Slowly add milk and stir consistently until smooth. Simmer for 5 minutes, until sauce thickens. Remove from heat; stir in cheeses and nutmeg.

Tips & Tricks
Cut down on kitchen time on the day of the holiday or party. Prepare the gratin ahead of time and refrigerate covered for three days. Then on the day of the party, slowly heat the gratin in a 325°F oven until thoroughly heated and bubbly, about one hour.
