(Roasted Butternut Squash with Rosemary and Balsamic Vinegar was updated with better photos in November 2010.)
Butternut squash is something I learned to love from my grandmother Denny, who'd roast big pieces of it on a cookie sheet and then mash it with lots of butter, salt, and pepper. Of course that tasted great, but when I make this roasted butternut squash tossed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and just a touch of rosemary, I don't miss the butter at all. This recipe is about as easy as they come, especially if you use those pre-cut squash cubes that start to show up at this time of year. If you're cutting your own squash (which is the way I like to do it) you might want to read How to Peel and Cut Up a Butternut Squash before you start.
