For the last few months I’ve baked infrequently due to the heat, but I am missing my roasted vegetables. Frozen organic cubed butternut squash is available and works well. I’ve been buying it from Aldi at a great price.
I love all kinds of squash, but I no longer buy hard shell squash due to my difficulty cutting it. I have arthritis in my hands and butternuts, acorns, etc. give me a problem. My friend next door has come over more than once when I tell her I have a problem. Zip and she halves it, but I don’t want to bother her. Now I can eat it more frequently since I found cubed organic butternut squash. I bought several packages and then began to think how I wanted to fix the butternut squash. I had also bought fresh organic peaches. Yum! Roasted squash and peaches sounds delicious doesn’t it?
If you’re using fresh butternut squash, cut and cube the squash. (If you have larger pieces of squash, you must put it in the oven by itself and cook for 15 minutes before adding chopped peaches. Smaller cubes of squash will cook in the same time as the peaches.) Add a little olive oil, cinnamon, honey, salt, and pepper, and you’re ready to roast it.

Yum! I sounds – and looks – delicious!
This looks good! Our local market has recently started carrying fresh squash that is already cubed in deli containers. Such a relief — I’m with you on cutting the squash. Hard on the hands.
I love butternut squash and I love peaches, but I would never have thought to put them together. This sounds delicious!
What a delicious combination!
Peaches are plentiful in my neck of the woods this time of year. I recently bought a very tasty and large peach pie at the local store for next to nothing. But mixing it with butternut squash would have been heavenly. :))
Sounds good!
Interesting combination. I must admit that I have never eaten squash and peaches together, but I’m thinking with the combination of spices that you have in this recipe that it will be good. Thank you for sharing on This is How We Roll.
Looks like a great recipe to ease into fall.
I’m a little bit behind but I wanted to make sure to check out your post – and thank you for joining the What’s for dinner party. Have a wonderful weekend and hope to see you at tomorrow’s party too!
