I microwaved the squash for a few minutes to make the peeling go a little easier and quicker. Loved the flavors! Thanks! -
It wasn't awful, but it wasn't worth making again. The rosemary flavor was muted at best, but basically nonexistent. The squash ended up too mushy. The lime juice imparted an odd metallic tang, and the butter was completely unnecessary, making an already sweet squash too sweet altogether. I won't make it again and wouldn't recommend.

Delicious! I added some chopped red onion to the mix. The rosemary was a nice touch. I think fresh sage would work too. The lime offered a subtle bit of a tang. I could not stop eating it. DH took the leftover for lunch today. This went perfectly with our beef stew! YUM! Great for the upcoming holidays. Thanks for posting!

Delicious! So easy to prepare. I also omitted the butter as I was going for a vegan dish, and it turned out great. -
Lovely, perfect for a fall day! The rosemary is what makes this dish. I couldn't really taste the lime juice at all and may increase that slightly next time, otherwise was perfect as is. Thanks for sharing!

Marra, this is a FABULOUS way of preparing squash! The roasting process really brings out its flavour and makes the flesh wonderfully soft while the skin stays crisp. Mmm, I cant get enough of this! :) The addition of fresh rosemary is what adds even more depth and taste. I luv it! Since I had it on hand from making another recipe, I used hokkaido squash instead of butternut, so that I didnt even have to peel the pumpkin. I was kinda caught up when making this, so I completely forgot the turning part, but it worked out perfectly nonetheless. Other than that I stuck to the recipe and it was lovely! THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this great recipe with us, Marra! Itll be a staple in my house from now on. Made and reviewed for Everyday Is A Holiday Tag Game August 09.

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
