Hate vegetables? Roasting can change your relationship with them forever. No more mushy, grey, tasteless pile of have-to-eat-it-because-it’s-good-for-you.
There aren’t many vegetables that don’t taste fabulous roasted in some olive oil, garlic, and salt. Roasting vegetables brings out the sweetness and flavor of an otherwise blah vegetable.
Winter squash can be a little intimidating when it comes to cutting it, but if done right, it’s really quite easy. Click here for my step-by-step instructions for cutting a butternut squash.

Just made this tonight and exceeded my taste sensations! Absolutely delicious. I know cinnamon doesnt go with all the other herbs in this recipe but I covered them in cinnamon when they came out because tasted like it would go together with butternut squash and let me just tell you this was like a dessert! I could see it being pureed in a pie crust with fresh whipped cream on top but Ill stick to this healthier version since I am avoiding all sugar that is not natural. Thank you for sharing 🙂Reply
