I roasted my first Butternut Squash a few weeks ago, previously I had been scared of them. It was so delicious, I could of eaten ALL of it! We ate it up so fast, no time for photos! I decided I was ready to eat it again, so I made it last night!
Butternut Squash is fairly difficult to peel, de-seed and cube, but it is worth the time. I added some Rosemary which really gives it a savory taste. This is really a simple and delicious recipe.
1 Butternut Squash, peeled, de-seeded and cubed
3-4 tbl good quality Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Grey Sea Salt to finish (optional)
Dried Rosemary, I pulverized in my mortar and pestle
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
Place your cubed squash on a large non-stick pan, and mix well with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and Rosemary.
Place in the oven and roast for approximately 25-35 minutes, turning frequently.
Finish with Grey Sea Salt if you happen to have it

mmm roasted squash = yummilicious!
Butternut squashes can be a real pain in the you-know-what to peel and slice up. I am surprised I still have all my fingers! But you're right, roasting it with a little rosemary just brings out the sweet/savory loveliness. Well done!
Very delicious sounding squash, I would too be able to eat this all.
Cheers,

Mmm, this butternut squash looks totally delicious. It's totally worth the pain of peeling and de-seeding to have the yumminess that is this roasted squash. Can't wait to get my hands on some soon!
Nice!
I haven't had butternut squash in some time (I've been on a yellow squash kick the last few weeks). I was going to make a potato side for my steak dish tomorrow, but I may give this a go.
How sweet is the final dish?
I have never roasted one either.. I am going to now. Looks terrific and you know I trust you when you say its good. Im going to look at the supermarket tomorrow for one.
I have never roasted a butternut squash either. I've made soup with them. I am going to roast one, you have me sold!
Cheryl, it looks delicious. I recently baked one in the oven...they are tough to cut in half...whew!
I love roasted butternut squash - this looks wonderful Cheryl.
BTW - tell John the ice cream was a huge hit with all of us! Thanks for sharing.
That looks tasty and do-able!
I've never had it prepared this way! What a great idea! That color is gorgeous, too! YUM!
I LOVE butternut squash, it's a pain, but worth the pain :)
This looks so delicious! I haven't tried it with rosemary, yet, but since I have a squash left, I'll be trying it soon!
I hate to admit it but I've been hesitant to try butternut squash because it seems like it would be hard to work with. This recipe really makes me want to tackle it though.....
I LOVE this!! I also add some minced garlic and shredded parmesan cheese!
Even my non-squash likers like it!
YUMM-O
Here's a secret to peeling/deseeding pumpkin & squash...hack it into chunks & put them into a microwavable bowl with a cup of water or so...just enough to steam. Cover with saran wrap and nuke it for 5-7 minutes or until it starts to soften up. Now peeling and deseeding is easy peasy! (Just don't burn yourself!)
Also, it will take less baking time since it's half cooked already!
Hugs!
Roasted butternut squash is one of my favorites. There are so many ways that you can dress them up.
We had this for Easter.. i just loveeeeeeeee.. i will eat it all times of the year!
Everything tastes better roasted. And it's the easiest way to cook and clean up if you use the non stick foil. Saw Tyler on the cooking show using a veggie peeler to peel butternut squash--works pretty good but the microwave idea might be better.
They serve butternut squash a lot this time of year at my company's cafeteria; both roasted as well as in a butternut vegetable chili that's awesome...sweet and spicy. love it! I cut my butternut squash lenthwise into quarters and peeled it with my goodgrips vegetable peeler -- no problemo.
I also tried adding some sage with the rosemary. and at the end put some goat cheese with asiago cheese and roast for a moment until cheese melts
It was wonderful! Thanks for the recipe and I did cut my finger. It was worth it though.
Love the recipe, hate the peeling, so I tried something new-put the whole butternut squash in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, let cool, and magic! the peel is soft enough to peel easily without cooking the flesh.
Delish recipe!
Also, sorry to hear of the loss of your fur baby. Hope your heart continues to heal.
Hello, I do not agree with the previous commentator - not so simple
I'm not exactly sure if this was the recipe my mom made for me when I was still a kid. I'll show this to her then! I'm about to partake in a holistic health and healing diet, so this should be a good meal before eating raw, whole foods!
I just hope though that natural health and healing have something to do with good foods, too!
Hello! I found your recipe last night and made your recipe. It was simple and delicious! Thank you for sharing!
