Not only healthy but delicious and a great accompaniment for a main meal or for your holiday table. I also love eating this on it's own as a light lunch in which case I sometimes omit the butter (good without it too).

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the squash, make sure to give the pieces enough space so that they can roast evenly.
  • Roast the squash until it is tender: The squash should be tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.

  • Serve the squash immediately: The squash is best served hot, drizzled with the balsamic glaze.
