This is a really easy way to fancy up butternut squash and is a perfect side for chicken. The natural sweetness of the squash pairs well with the savory herbs.

    Delicious. I’ve added roasted butternut squash to cooked chickpeas, Indian spices, chicken or vegetable stock, pureed it and ended up with the most wonderful soup.

    How long will it take to roast?

    Love butternut squash but never used anything but butter when I roast it. Rosemary makes everything better and I’m sure it works here, too.

    A little early for the squash, but definitely a keeper once the mercury plummets.
