Butternut Squash and Shallots

NeedTaste | January 10, 2022

Wanted a savory and semi-sweet butternut squash recipe. Shallots add such a savory, yet sweet addition to this delicious side dish. The flavor of the thyme, sage, and rosemary make it special Really great for a holiday dish and super simple. I have used the juice from a can of carrots, vegetable broth or chicken broth (think vegan vs not). Play with it until you like the subtle savory flavors. You can also add butter if you like that added flavor. I have a vegan in my home, so I make it without butter or chicken broth, but have done both. Delicious and different . If you've never tried butternut squash but have wanted to give it a try, we recommend preparing this recipe. It has the perfect balance of herbs and the shallots add a punch of flavor. Sweet and tangy, all the flavors pair so well with the natural flavor of the squash. A delicious and easy to make side dish.
