Roasted Butternut Squash with Pine Nuts & Balsamic Vinegar

The perfect side on a cold fall or winter day. Try this recipe roasted butternut squash with pine nuts and balsamic vinegar.

Let’s make some roasted butternut squash, squash and pumpkin is a ingredient I very rarely use. Most of the time I think it´s get to sweet or tasteless. However this recipe is one of the better I tried.

It’s very important that you don’t skip the nuts or vinegar because there are barely no acidity in the butternut and it´s get very soft after roasting. So a little bit of texture from the pine nuts are perfect. But you can replace the butternut for any other pumpkin and replace the pine nuts with for example almonds or pumpkin seeds if you like.
