Simply Smoky Roasted Butternut Squash Recipe

Happy Sunday my dear friends!

I wish you had Christmas full of Love, Peace, Joy and Harmony!

I  thought I would share this great smoky roasted Butternut Squash Recipe to  start the  week off on a good note.

Yesterday was a  dull and rainy day in  Chicago. I just wanted to cuddle up in my bed all day. But I had some butternut squash that was sitting in my kitchen for a week. It was a time to crack it open and roast it.

The Bright orange Smoky Roasted Butternut Squash has a smoky flavor and nuttiness which balanced with the sweetness of the squash.

Notes for the recipe

-This recipe is great to serve with pork chops and beef dishes. Also, try it over your mixed green salad or as a side dish or with udon noodle soup.
- I prefer to use fresh garlic as it brings  out great flavor.
- I always use foil when I bake. It is easy to clean afterward.

Thank you for stopping by and reading
