This roasted Butternut Squash Recipe is one of my favorites. It's so easy to make, healthy, and economical. It tastes so good - kids love it.
Not only does butternut squash taste good, it's so good for you. With its nutty flavor and mildly sweet taste, it is full of vitamins, minerals, and high in fiber.
With its golden yellow color, it's a healthy side dish to add visual appeal to almost any meal.
For something just a bit different and a bit more Canadian, pour ½ cup of maple syrup on top instead of brown sugar. Or, use apricot jam instead.
None of these variations are German recipes, but they are so good! As you can see in the photo above, this squash fits perfectly to a German' meal.
This method is really an easy way how to cook butternut squash. If you really like roast butternut squash, try it in a casserole with cherry tomatoes and blue cheese.
I know it sounds, well, sort of weird. At least that was my first reaction to the recipe. But once I tried it, I was hooked. It's really good!
I really wish I would have learned about this "gebackener Butternusskürbis" in my childhood years. My Mutti never cooked this ... didn't seem to be part of her upbringing either.
But, now, it's such a favorite of our family. It's so delicious AND so healthy. I find I try many different types of recipes with the squashes ... but often come back to this simple basic one.

Love German cabbage rolls? You'll absolutely love Oma's unstuffed cabbage roll casserole. Same great taste, but a LOT less work. No rice or tomatoes here. Just real German goodness.
