Roasted Squash with Walnuts

by Leave a Comment

SquashHere’s a great dish, perfect for Thanksgiving or any cool weather meal, using butternut squash.

The vanilla causes you to think you’re on the purpose of eat something sweet, and in an exceedingly way you’re, because the squash incorporates a natural sweetness, but this really is also a savory dish.

The combination of walnuts, thyme, ginger, vanilla, and squash could seem weird, but oddly it works.

You can either boil the butternut squash with some bay leaves, or roast them until it gets golden brown then you can take away the bay leaves.

Roasting will caramelize the squash a little amount, giving a touch more flavor, and thus the squash cubes will hold their shape better.

Boiling the squash will yield softer squash and slightly flavor from the bay leaves.
