Honey Garlic Butternut Squash

This roasted honey garlic butternut squash with feta and walnuts is packed full of flavor and so easy to put together. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any day when you want a special side dish.

For me, fall is all about creating a cozy environment at home. I love to light candles everywhere, eat a lot of comfort food and drink plenty of hot chocolate! The food I cook at home during the colder weather reflects the same. I like to put together easy but flavorful meals that warm up the body and soul.

The last few weeks have been crazy busy around my house and I’m often too tired to cook an elaborate meal. We don’t prefer eating out often so that isn’t an option I have. On days like that I like to cook something that doesn’t require too much effort on my part but looks and tastes like a million bucks.

This Honey Garlic Butternut Squash recipe is the same. I love butternut squash because it provides so many possibilities. You can use it for soup, in vegetarian curries or just roast it with different ingredients. It is filling, nutritious and so delicious.

If you’re looking for a side dish that never fails to impress, this is it. This roasted butternut squash recipe is easy and quick but it is sweet, salty, crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth soft on the inside! I love the crunch from the walnuts and the salty tang from the feta cheese in it. I guarantee you’ll be making this one over and over again once you taste it.
