Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Brush sweet potatoes and squash with olive oil. Arrange sweet potatoes on a baking sheet; set squash aside.

03

Step

Bake sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Add squash to sweet potatoes; cook until almost tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and cool.

04

Step

Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion in butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Add milk, flour, and sage; season with garlic salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until flour is dissolved and sauce is thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

05

Step

Remove and discard skins from sweet potatoes and squash. Thinly slice sweet potatoes and squash. Arrange sweet potato slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer 1/2 of the squash atop sweet potatoes. Pour a little less than 1/2 of the cream sauce over squash. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the Asiago cheese. Repeat layering with remaining squash, cream sauce, and Asiago cheese, respectively. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 10 more minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cream sauce.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere or Parmesan, for a unique twist.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the dish with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.

    Next time, I'll try adding a layer of caramelized onions.
