VeganMoFo: Roasted Butternut Squash



Despite our weather being sunny and mid-80s, we're still reaping the benefits of autumn. I've been having squash cravings, so I roasted this small butternut squash at 400 degrees for 20 minutes (it probably could've used another 5 minutes). When it was cool enough to handle, I scooped the flesh out of the skin and ate it plain for lunch. Butternut squash really doesn't need any adornment; it's perfectly sweet and flavorful on its own.

I've never had butternut squash, or at least I've never made it for myself and I don't think I've ever eaten it! Everyone says it is amazing and you make it look beautiful, if I can find some I will have to make it!

That's one of the best combos...warm weather and fall food!

I agree, roasted butternut is perfect as is! A pinch of salt might be nice, but everything else is superfluous.
