    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

    In a bowl, toss the squash cubes, onion, and olive oil until coated; transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Roast in the preheated oven until the squash is tender and beginning to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

    Toss the squash mixture, spinach, dried cranberries, and pecans together in a serving bowl and serve warm.
