How to make butternut squash with cranberries and feta


Start by roasting the cubed squash, one of my favorite ways to prepare vegetables. It's the same method with Brussels sprouts and broccoli.


Just toss the squash with olive oil, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a large bowl, then roasting in a single layer at 400 degrees.


At the 30-minute mark, add the cranberries to the cookie sheet, and roast another 10-15 minutes, until they burst slightly.


Remove from oven, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with feta cheese. Toss gently as you move all to a serving bowl.

    I brought this dish to a church dinner and it was a big hit. (I did use the pre cut butternut squash from Costco just to save time and muscle)
