Cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash


I think squash are one of the most versatile vegetables. Their flavor is for the most part mild, and they seem to adapt to whatever flavor/spice you add to it. Take butternut squash for example; if you look back in my blog, you'll see I posted a "savory" recipe using it. However this recipe is on the "sweet" side.

Give it a try! Your palette will thank you.

Ingredients
~ 1 large butternut squash
~ Olive oil spray
~ Cinnamon
~ Honey
~ Coarse sea salt

Preparation: 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a large cookie sheet (you may need two depending on the size of your squash).  Use a potato peeler to peel off the outside skin of squash.  Cut the squash in half.  Scoop and discard the seeds.  Place the squash cut side down and start slicing the squash in 1/8" - 1/4" slices.  Arrange slices on sprayed cookie sheet.  Spray the squash slices with olive oil, sprinkle with cinnamon, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with sea salt.  Roast in oven for about 25-35 minutes or until they are golden brown.  Taste to see if you need to drizzle a touch more honey, cinnamon, or salt.  Enjoy!
