    Why does the turkey get all the attention on Thanksgiving Day? Seriously! It is the side dishes that make the feast a day to remember.

    That is exactly why you need this quick and easy spicy rosemary butternut squash side dish on your menu. You are going to love this fun side dish as it is delicately naturally sweet and nutty flavored, aromatic from the rosemary and slightly spicy from on the cayenne pepper and smokey from the paprika. With just 6 little ingredients, you can have so much flavor.

    Spicy Rosemary Butternut Squash is happily gluten-free, vegan, paleo friendly and super high in vitamin A, B vitamins, good source of antioxidants, helps boost immunity and is high in fiber.

    Did you know that you can make your Spicy Rosemary Butternut Squash recipe up to 3 days in advance of serving. For us this is huge! We only have one little oven and we need to do much of the cooking and prep in advance of the big day. Once that huge turkey gets in the oven there is not much room for anything else.

    If you are looking for other delicious butternut squash recipes be sure to try our Roasted Butternut and Carrot Ginger Soup,  Butternut Squash Vegetarian Lasagna and for dessert a Cardamom Ginger Butternut Affogato. Our Creamy Kabocha Truffle Pasta is also delicious made with butternut squash. If you have leftover Spicy Rosemary Butternut Squash, give this delicious recipe to try.

    The dish is even more easy as we chose not to peel the butternut squash to save on time. We just cut in half, removed the seeds and sliced in ¼ inch slices so that would cook quickly. We left the peel on to save time and protect those wee little fingers of yours. How many of you have had an emergency room visit after a bad encounter with a dull knife and a butternut squash?

    Please be careful! Make sure that knife is sturdy and also just sharpened. We used our Chinese cleaver to get this guy open and sliced. Of course, if you are not pressed for time, go ahead and peel your squash if you would like.

      Altho' summer winds are beginning to blow here Australians never stop using butternut pumpkin during the year. 'Tis part of our everyday diet. Lovely tasty recipe . . . as far as peeling the recalcitrant beastie goes Aussies also have decided that peeling it raw may just not be necessary . . .:) Good luck with your Thanksgiving preparations . . . we'll use your side without the holiday . . . keep safe . . .

        We completely agree! Peeling a butternut squash can be a risky event and we need all 10 fingers for Thanksgiving prep! (smiling). Sometimes we use a vegetable peeler but its just as easy to peel after it is cooked. Hope you are doing well. Have a super week ahead. Take Care
