Butternut Squash is not a vegetable I make often and I don’t even remember eating it growing up. The first time I butternut squash was when my mother made Butternut Squash Soup a few years ago.
I loved it so I decided to experiment with this squash and added my own spin. This Roasted Butternut Squash with Sun Dried Tomatoes is a ‘must-try’ this season.
The aromatic flavors wafting through my kitchen as they were roasting were making my mouth water before I even tasted it. This recipe serves 4 people and can be ready in about 45 minutes.
