Roasted Butternut Squash Recipe: Oma's gerösteter Butternusskürbis

This roasted Butternut Squash Recipe, aka Butternusskürbis, is one of my favorites. It's so easy to make, healthy, and economical.

Not only does butternut squash taste so good, it's so good for you. With its nutty flavor and mildly sweet taste, it's full of vitamins, minerals, and high in fiber.
