Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F, Lightly butter a 9x13-inch glass baking dish; set aside.

• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the butternut squash and parsnips. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until slightly softened. Set aside to cool.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the bread pieces, and toss gently. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and chopped thyme leaves. Toss the ingredients together until the bread pieces are well coated.
