Brown Sugar Roasted Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is one of those vegetables that I could eat every day.  It's smooth, buttery, and good for you!  It is super easy to make this quick and delicious side dish on the grill or in the oven.

Take one of these...

If you are cooking it in the oven, preheat to 350˚.  If you are grilling, make sure you have either grill baskets or a roasting pan for the grill ready to go.

Next, peel it.

Then, cut the ends off and slice it in half.  Remove the seeds and stringy stuff.
Finally, cube it.

Put it in a big bowl with:

olive oil (approx 3/4c....just enough to coat it)

salt

pepper

brown sugar (approx 1c...you will develop your own taste after you make it the first time so you can alter the level of sweetness)

*I have also added a dash of cinnamon from time to time...just wasn't in the mood tonight.

mix well to coat, put it in a shallow sided pan and cook for about 30 minutes, or until easily pierced with fork.  Yum!  Tonight I served this with Greek style pork kabobs and fresh pineapple.
