PIN Balsamic Butternut Squash with Rosemary to try it later!<\/a><\/p>\n Balsamic Butternut Squash with Rosemary <\/strong>has been one of my favorite fall and winter side dishes for many years! Butternut squash is something I learned to love at a young age from my grandmother Denny. She\u2019d wrap the cut pieces of squash in foil and roast it on what she called a cookie sheet.<\/p>\n Then grandma would mash the squash with lots of butter, salt, and pepper. Of course that tasted great, and Grandma Denny made it often with the butternut squash from her garden.<\/p>\n Now I\u2019d skip the foil and make this\u00a0 easy roasted butternut squash on a baking sheet when the butternut squash craving hits me. And this easy Balsamic Butternut Squash never fails to please my tastebuds. Plus, this recipe is about as easy as it gets for a healthy side dish. I hope you try the recipe and love it like I do!<\/p>\n (This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe with ingredient amounts.)<\/p>\n You can make this with those cubes of butternut squash that show up at this time of year. And go ahead and use those if that\u2019s the only way you\u2019re going to make this! But cutting your own squash will give better flavor. You might want to read How to Peel and Cut Up a Butternut Squash<\/a> if you\u2019re doing that.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have fresh or frozen rosemary, use a smaller amount of ground rosemary<\/a> (affiliate link). Personally I wouldn\u2019t make this with whole dried rosemary, which is not that fun to bite into. But if that\u2019s what you have you could grind it up in a Mortar and Pestle<\/a> (affiliate link)!<\/p>\n You can definitely use regular balsamic vinegar for this recipe, and I do like the way it gives the squash a more caramelized appearance. But if you prefer white balsamic vinegar<\/a> (affiliate link) that will also be delicious!<\/p>\n This long-time favorite recipe for butternut squash has about 12 net carbs in a small serving. It\u2019s a slight splurge on carbs for me, but this is something I have to have a few times while butternut squash is in season!<\/p>\n (This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)<\/p>\n Since this Balsamic Butternut Squash recipe does have some carbs, if you want a low-carb meal I\u2019d serve it with one of these extra low-carb main dishes:<\/p>\n Use Favorite Butternut Squash Recipes<\/a> to see more of my ideas for cooking butternut squash, or use use Winter Squash<\/a> to see all the winter squash recipes on the blog.<\/p>\n This Balsamic Butternut Squash with Rosemary has been added to a category called Weekend Food Prep<\/a>\u00a0 where you\u2019ll find recipes you can prep or cook on the weekend and eat during the week!<\/p>\n Use about 6 cups of butternut squash cubes, or slightly more. <\/p>\n Be sure it’s especially finely chopped if you use dried rosemary. If you have a garden you can make frozen rosemary<\/a>\u00a0and use it in this recipe! If you don’t have fresh or frozen rosemary I would use a smaller amount of ground rosemary.<\/p>\n Recipe\u00a0adapted from Roasted Butternut Squash with Balsamic Vinegar<\/a> by Lynne Rosetto Casper.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n 6<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n 1<\/span><\/p>\n Amount Per Serving<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \t\tCalories<\/span> 106<\/span>Total Fat<\/span> 5g<\/span>Saturated Fat<\/span> 1g<\/span>Unsaturated Fat<\/span> 4g<\/span>Cholesterol<\/span> 0mg<\/span>Sodium<\/span> 104mg<\/span>Carbohydrates<\/span> 17g<\/span>Fiber<\/span> 5g<\/span>Sugar<\/span> 4g<\/span>Protein<\/span> 1g<\/span>\t<\/p>\n Nutrition information is automatically calculated by the Recipe Plug-In I am using.
