Sweet and Savory Roasted Butternut Squash

Sweet and Savory Roasted Butternut Squash is my recipe of the day. It’s time again for the blogging group Baking Bloggers. We join forces once per month to share our favorite baked recipes, sweet or savory, on topics we vote on. It’s all very Democratic.
And we are pleased to share our baked recipes for either Pumpkin, Butternut Squash, or other winter squash this month.
I’ve already shared several pumpkin recipes recently. So decided I would dig into roasting up some butternut squash, one of my favorites.
I love that this recipe combines the flavors of maple, orange, ginger, and rosemary to balance out the tastes of both sweet and savory. I think you’ll love it.
And it makes a fantastic side dish for things like baked ham, roast chicken, pork chops, or steak.
