Recipe for Roasted Butternut Squash with Rosemary and Balsamic Vinegar

This recipe for Roasted Butternut Squash with Rosemary and Balsamic Vinegar couldn't be easier, but the results are amazing!

(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.
