For a richer flavor, try roasting the sweet potato and butternut squash instead of boiling. Toss with a little olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) until tender. Add a pinch of ground ginger or cloves for a warmer, spicier flavor profile. If you prefer a sweeter mash, feel free to use regular maple syrup or a touch of honey. Garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
