Roasted Butternut Squash & Zucchini
I love roasted vegetables. Growing up in the '60s all the vegetables we had were boiled, which basically removes all flavor, texture, color, and nutrients. I cringe thinking about it. This Roasted Butternut Squash & Zucchini is an excellent autumn side dish. It's all done on one sheet pan, which makes for effortless cleanup. You can add any vegetables you like. I typically buy butternut squash that is already cut up.
