Autumn and butternut squash, in my mind, are almost synonymous. I am happy to say that we have a generous harvest of them stacked on wooden slats ready to be taken to the root cellar for storage. It’s safe to say that much of it will be turned into butternut bisque, which for years now has also been synonymous with autumn, at least here at the convent. However, roasted winter squashes are also regularly featured in our cold weather menus, and they now rival the bisque in popularity. Such a simple way to prepare them, and so many variations that can add color and flavor to most any meal. Here is one of my simplest and most favorite.
