Pan-Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes and Butternut Squash

The sweetness of butternut squash not only balances the earthiness of Jerusalem artichokes, but also brightens the appearance of this side dish, lending an autumn hue to these pan-roasted vegetables. It is a good accompaniment to roast pork loin, beef brisket, or pot roast. But it is also hardy enough to stand on its own as a vegetarian main course with a quick sauté of leafy, dark greens, such as Tuscan kale or Swiss chard.
