Cajun Roasted Squash and Yams

Adapted from a recipe I found online for roasted butternut squash (#200194 on allrecipes.com if you want the original). The cajun spice was an emergency substitute for garlic salt (which I don't keep since we usually use fresh garlic) and it turned out great. The addition of ground cloves was a last minute inspiration. It tasted fantastic even overcooked, but I recommend watching it closely in the last 10 minutes to prevent the edges blackening.
