Honey Roasted Root Vegetables with Butternut Squash
Soon we will be planning our garden here on the farm where fresh vegetables will be plentiful. I love having root vegetables ready to pull from the garden, added with a few other ingredients to make a delicious side dish, like this Honey Roasted Root Vegetables recipe with Butternut Squash.
One of my main ingredients is honey. Not only do I love honey because it tastes delicious, it also has numerous health benefits. When you cook with honey, you can replace unnatural sugars and create some wonderful flavours. This blended of garlic, honey and balsamic, create a unique compliment to roasted vegetables.
This recipe has become one of our go-to recipes because it compliments several meat entrées with a burst of flavour and colour. Bon Appétit!
