The key to this quick-and-easy recipe for Swiss chard is to spin-dry the chard after washing, otherwise, the excess water that clings to the chard dilutes the flavors. You’ll also want to cook the chard slow enough that it releases enough of its own moisture to thoroughly cook it until tender. And the roasted butternut squash is a wonderful and healthy way to sweeten the greens without adding sugar.

*You can also add the Swiss chard center ribs to this recipe if you like the texture and flavor. Slice them super thin and simmer the ribs in vegetable broth to make them tender, as they take longer to cook.
