    Rosemary and Balsamic Vinegar Roasted Butternut Squash

    Butternut squash, a beloved autumn staple, pairs elegantly with the robust essence of rosemary and the sweet tang of balsamic vinegar. This trio not only makes your home smell like a cozy Italian kitchen but also brings a touch of warmth and nutrition to your table.

    Not only is this dish a burst of fall flavors, but it also packs a nutritional punch. Butternut squash is low in calories and high in nutrients, making it an excellent addition to a weight management plan. When prepared with heart-healthy olive oil and antioxidant-rich rosemary, and without the unnecessary fats or sugars, this dish is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals such as beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body, essential for eye health.

    You can enjoy rosemary and balsamic vinegar roasted butternut squash as a flavorful side dish or a satisfying main course. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of proteins such as Butter Chicken or a juicy Garlic Herb Steak.

    Ingredients

    Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes

    • 1 medium butternut squash
    • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
    • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

    How to Make Rosemary and Balsamic Vinegar Roasted Butternut Squash

    Preheat your oven to 400 F.

    Prepare the butternut squash by cutting it in half, removing the seeds and peeling it with a knife. Now cut the peeled squash into cubes.

    Combine the rosemary, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, garlic and olive oil in a bowl and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

    Toss the butternut squash cubes in the liquid and place in a baking dish.
