Roasted Winter Squash with Almond and Herb Dressing

cake

 

In addition to its earthy flavor, squash is rich in beta carotenes, which are used to make vitamin A, an important vitamin for one’s vision and bone growth.

Pumpkins in particular are rich in lutein, which may help to lower the risk of cataracts, and the potassium in squash will also help contain blood pressure.

Not sure how to flavor your squash? In this recipe I use rosemary and sage, but also parsley, marjoran, thyme, oregano, basil an chives can be successfully used to amplify its sweetness.

Such a simple and delicious recipe that’s also so beneficial for our health.
