Ingredients:

• Butternut squash, peeled with a potato peeler, deseeded, cut in half

3. Make horizontal cuts in the squash – cut deeply, although do not cut all the way through, – cuts should be about 1/3 inch apart. Use a pastry brush to glaze the top of the squash with California Balsamic Chocolate Orange Balsamic. Use a light, second glaze to drip some of the Chocolate Orange Balsamic between a few of the slices.
4. Roast this attractive squash for about 40 minutes at 375 degrees.
5. Present on a platter surrounded by your favorite veggies, or present solo. – Cut into individual portions as desired and enjoy this delicious transformation to your favorite roasted Butternut Squash.
