Roasted Butternut Squash Cubes
September 12, 2008 – 6:42 amThis is a quick and easy side as long as you buy the pre-cubed butternut squash. It’s also not too much more trouble to peel and cube a whole one if you have the time and inclination (here’s a Slashfood video demonstration). It cooked alongside the pork tenderloin below at the same time and temperature and was done perfectly. Next time I think I’ll add some cumin for a bit more flavor.

Yay! I’m glad I’m not the only one who takes shortcuts and buys the squash ready cubed! I prepared mine the same way… great minds think alike I guess 🙂
