You can't go wrong with this simple and flavorful roasted spiced butternut squash - brown sugar, pepper, and garlic make for one sweetly spicy delight.
You know it's fall again. Aside from the changing leaves and cool, crisp air, squash is going on sale frequently again. (We picked up some butternut this time. This recipe should work with just about any winter squash.) With my recent purchase in mind, I saw this recipe on Budget Bytes, and I knew I had to give it a try. The brown sugar makes a nice glaze once it's cooked, and it also holds some seasonings. Sweet and spicy, we quickly gobbled this spiced roasted butternut squash. You've really got to try this recipe - so easy, yet so tasty! You can't go wrong.
What's your favorite winter squash?
