This was really good, not to mention simple. Since I did use a large butternut squash, I had to roast it for a full 30 minutes. Since some one gave me a small portion of apple butter as a gift, I used that to spread on the squash, and it was so good! Definetely a good combination!

This is the first time I've roasted a butternut squash without using butter & brown sugar. What a huge difference it made. I absolutely loved this plain! I did season lightly with salt & pepper and enjoyed it immensely. Thanks Vel for a great "new" way for me to enjoy squash!

This is a great and easy way to make squash. I usually cook the squash whole for about 30 minutes to soften it to make it easy to peel (can do this a day ahead). Then I cut the squash into cubes, toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt and sage. Roast in a thin layer for about 35-45 minutes until the squash is super tender and starting to brown on the tops. Then enjoy!
