Roasted Butternut and Acorn Squash






Combining these two squash in a casserole is heaven. The combination of spices is wonderful and you get that heat from the curry and the great flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon. These flavors are very similar to those used in cuisines in India and such. I've made this before, but unfortunately did not snap a photograph.


  • 1# Butternut Squash – peeled, seeds removed and cut into bite sized chunks
  • 1 Acorn Squash – peeled, seeds removed and cut into bite sized chunks
  • 1 cup Sliced Fennel (bulb only)

  • ¼ tsp. ground Nutmeg
  • 1 – 2 pinches each ground Cloves and Curry Powder
  • 2 tbsp. butter - melted

  2. Mix all ingredients together and put in a casserole dish.

  5. Recipe serves 6 to 8 people.
