The Gourmet Bon Vivant
Maple roasted butternut squash is one of the best side dishes as we head into the colder months of the year. It's nutty, sweet, and perfectly seasoned with maple syrup and a hint of chipotle powder.
It's also super quick and easy (once you get the squash dealt with, that is. I hate that job). It goes perfectly with pretty much any meat: chicken, turkey, pork, or beef, making it great for holiday season entertaining.
Super easy. Feel free to adjust the chipotle level to suit your tastes.
Combine the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper and chipotle spice.
Whisk everything together until well combined.
Pour the maple mixture over your butternut squash until it's well coated.
Spread evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast at 400F for 20-30 minutes, until the squash is tender.
It should be slightly caramelized when it comes out of the oven. So Delicious!
Garnish with sage leaves (even better if you fry them) and you're good to go!
The ultimate Sunday feast. The squash will pair perfectly with the rich meat!
These guys also have a hint of maple flavor.
To complete the ultimate fall meal.
