Our Caramelized Butternut Squash will melt in your mouth with every bite. Chunks of butternut squash are easily sauteed in a skillet with olive oil, onion, rosemary, along red pepper flakes to give it some heat until the butternut is softened and caramelized. YUM! A wonderful, tasty side dish will surely become a new favorite this fall season.
It’s so good! You have to make this dish and see for yourself!
Butternut squash will literally melt in your mouth with a nice spicy kick to it, making it even addicting and everyone will ask for seconds, no doubt!
Butternut squash is a bright orange vegetable, related to the pumpkin and other winter squashes. You can find it already pre-cut in most supermarkets.
But in case you don’t, you may find pre-cut butternut squash in the freezer section at supermarkets. It’s a time-saver!
This is a wonderful vegetable to keep on rotation throughout the fall and winter seasons. From soups to casseroles to pasta dishes, you can use butternut squash in so many recipes.
WHY WE LOVE BUTTERNUT SQUASH!
-
Squashes like the butternut squash are low in calories and a top-notch source of vitamin C, calcium, and vitamin A.
-
They are also and high in antioxidants, along with having anti-carcinogenic, anti-antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
-
They are low in fat and deliver a substantial dose of dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked to good heart health.
So many good reasons why we should include squashes on our rotation, right?
It’s not easy getting kids to eat everything you make for dinner, but this is one they may try and even enjoy.
With teenagers, a husband, and a business to run, I am always thinking of simple ways of making dinner that is quick and easy, and delicious at the same time.
With just a few ingredients, you will have a great side dish that will go with any entrée, no question.

November 10, 2013 at 8:26 pmHi Tricia, yes you can, they would probably compliment one another very nicely if you are serving a turkey or ham for Thanksgiving. We love them all!

April 5, 2011 at 6:14 pmTried this recipe and it was great…easy and quick to make. I used shallots instead of onions and added just a pinch more cayenne ( I like my food spicy). I'm planning on trying a few of these recipes they sound delicious!
