Roasted Butternut Squash

This is a great side dish that can be served with all sorts of things.

1 butternut squash
4-5 cloves of garlic
1 small red onion
2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper

Peel, de-seed and cut the butternut squash into chunks. Peel the garlic but leave whole. Cut the red onion into six to eight pieces, cutting down from the root helps keep the onion pieces intact while cooking.

Toss everything together in a bowl with a generous splash of olive oil and season.

Roast in a 400ºF oven until tender and it gains a little color, around 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

  3. That's awesome, I recently planted some zucchini (courgette) in my tiny little garden & it seems to be doing well so far.

    Cheers,
