Fall HEALTHY RECIPE of the Day! Roasted Butternut Squash with Parsley

9/25/2013

Fall is in the air ... well, ALMOST, if you are a desert dweller like me. It's amazing how thrilled I can be about my atomic thermometer reading in the 70s when I come out to the kitchen to make my morning coffee. Doors and windows immediately open to welcome the cool air!

In light of Fall being "here", my thoughts turn to actually being able to turn on my oven without causing my family and I to feel like we are living in a Native American sweat lodge.

Believe it or not, I only just discovered the simplicity and yumminess of roasting veggies. I love squash, so naturally I'm experimenting with different ways to roast this lovely Fall produce.

Ovens ready... let's ROAST!

I really love butternut squash, but I've never roasted it. I need to try this! The one time I cooked it from scratch I put it in a soup. It's hard to chop! Hey even though summer is almost over now, I have a good tip for avoiding heating up the kitchen in the summer when you need to use an oven. Growing up, my mom always kept old toaster oven on the back patio which we used that for baked potatoes and roasting veggies throughout the summer. It works great! No pre-heating necessary ;-)

You're right about it being hard to chop. Here's my guilty little secret. I buy the squash already cubed at Trader Joe's. : )

I love your tip about using the small oven OUTSIDE.
