Directions
Notes
Variations Instead of butternut squash, roast cubes of another winter squash, such as pumpkin or acorn squash—or try roasting cubed sweet potatoes.
Suggested Pairing
A Gewürztraminer from Alsace may sound like an unusual choice here, but try it; you'll be surprised at how beautifully the sweet butternut squash and salty ham blend with the wine's rich, spicy flavors.
