Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, toss together the butternut squash, parsnips, olive oil, sage, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and thyme. Bake until squash and parsnips are tender, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Let stand until cool enough to handle then crumble into large pieces.
Step 3
Add the onions to the bacon drippings and cook over medium, stirring, until softened and golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Add the kale, butter, vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover the skillet and cook until the kale is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring once. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Add the kale mixture and bacon to the butternut squash mixture in the baking dish. Gently mix together and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with the cheese.
Step 5
Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with almonds and garnish with sage and thyme leaves.
