This Roasted Autumn Squash uses butternut squash which is my favorite squash to roast and my favorite to eat. It has a sweet and nutty taste that reminds me a bit of pumpkin. I also added some delicata squash which can be sliced with the skin on so it is very easy. Speaking of easy, all you need for flavoring is some olive oil, sage, sea salt and some pepper. The sage added a nice, rich taste to the already rich squash. It’s that easy!
Serve it right away or put in the refrigerator to be used later in salads, on sandwiches or puree it into a soup. It doesn’t matter, it will be great either way.
