Roasted Seasoned Winter Squash Medley
Description
The dish combines peeled and cubed butternut, kabocha, or other winter squashes coated in melted butter and olive oil to encourage browning and flavor. A carefully balanced spice blend adds complexity without overwhelming the squash’s inherent mild sweetness. Roasting at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes allows even cooking and caramelization, with occasional tossing for uniform browning.
The final sprinkle of the spice mixture just before serving refreshes the flavor on the finished squash cubes. This medley offers a comforting side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses during cooler seasons.
