Roasted Butternut Squash with Onions & Garlic ~ Recipe


Roasted butternut squash with onions and garlic is the perfect fall side-dish to accompany any meal.  Looking for a new Thanksgiving side-dish? Well this could be it.  Simple ingredients with complex flavor.  You can't beat that!

Roasted Butternut Squash with Onions & Garlic

Ingredients:
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 large yellow onion
1 head garlic
1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Peel butternut squash, remove seeds/pulp and cut into 1" cubes.  Cut onion in half, remove skin and cut into large chunks.  Separate garlic cloves and peel individual cloves.  Place on a large baking sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Toss, using hands, to combine.

Place in oven for a total of 25 minutes or until butternut squash is fork-tender.  Halfway through cooking time, stir up mixture to ensure even cooking on all sides.



Once cooked, the garlic becomes tender and delicious.  Make sure you get some nice caramelization (color) on the onions and butternut squash, that's what gives it such great flavor!
