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.

  • Prep: 20 mins
  • Cook: 50 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

1 (1-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced

2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and diced

1 red, orange, or yellow bell pepper, diced

½ onion, quartered and layers separated

¼ cup olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

I don’t think you’re lazy for buying pre-cut butternut squash. It’s just about the most arduous vegetable to prepare, maybe after artichokes. And as Jacques Pepin says, the smart cook will let the supermarket be her prep cook whenever possible. (See also: peeled garlic and shallots.)
