Recipe Review

21st September 2011

Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

Rich and sweet. Butternut squash is cut into cubes, and mixed with butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper. A long roasting time (about an hour) leads to nicely carmelized squares of bright orange squash.

For flavor and appearance, this recipe deserves a 5.

Why "only" four? Butternut squash starts out sweet, and it doesn't really need all that butter and brown sugar to be excellent. I felt that the recipe took a really healthy ingredient, and made it less healthy.

On the other hand, if you have kids who are vegetable adverse, this recipe might be your ticket.

As a side note, other than the sugar, this was a locovore delight.
