About this

Often times, when entertaining, it’s easy to forget that simple doesn’t have to be boring or routine. This Roasted Garlic Squash & Parsley recipe is a perfect example.  When we decided to put an impromptu fall dinner party together last night, we made an inaugural trip to our brand new Costco and part of our haul included a couple of pounds of diced and sliced butternut squash.

This Roasted Garlic Squash & Parsley recipe was a perfect complement to an evening of good friends and good food in mid-autumn. Low in fat, and effort, this recipe is high in flavor, color and health. Even better, it can be put together in a snap and for just a few dollars. Next time you’re making dinner for the family, or getting ready for a special dinner or holiday meal, keep in mind that something simple can be a big part of something fantastic.  Happy fall!  -Dan

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2-3 pounds winter squash, such as butternut, buttercup, kabocha or hubbard, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks (see Tip)
• ▢ 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• ▢ 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
• ▢ 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ▢ 2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
