Squash is bland, so concentration of flavors is necessary. In this recipe, roasting creates a savory/sweet side dish that is sure to please you and your guests.



Here’s all you need



1.     One butternut squash, small to medium, peeled and cut into squares

2.     Olive oil, 1 or 2 Tbsp

3.     Ginger root, minced, 1 to 2 tsp

4.     Kosher salt, one large pinch

5.     Pepper

6.     Thyme, ½ tsp to 1 tsp

7.     Sugar ½ tsp



Here’s what to do:



·      Pre-heat oven to 400° Fahrenheit

·      Combine and mix large-dice squash pieces and other ingredients in a bowl

·      Spread onto baking sheet

·      Roast until browned lightly, turning once or at most, twice, approximately 60 to 90 min.
