Padma Lakshmi’s Citrus-Garlic Roasted Squash Recipe

Padma Lakshmi 's flavorful Thanksgiving recipe comes together in just 30 minutes.

"It’s an easy seasonal side dish that's made mostly in the oven and goes perfectly with all the traditional items found at Thanksgiving," says the celebrity chef. "The sauce can be prepped a day or two ahead. If you do so, simply warm the sauce just before serving."

The TV host continues, describing the flavors of the fall stunner adapted from her new cookbook Padma’s All American : " The smooth, creamy squash is sweet and a perfect foil for the garlicky, tart mojo sauce."
