roasted butternut squash and kielbasa

Pumpkin is everywhere this fall, and for good reason, but we shouldn’t neglect its lesser-known yet delicious and nutritious cousin, the butternut squash! Butternut squash is high in vitamin A and vitamin C, and contains potassium and fiber as well.

When roasted, it becomes sweet and buttery, and tastes so good. I decided to pair it with the savory, slightly salty flavor of kielbasa, and the combination was amazing! Thing 2 gobbled it up and gave me a two-thumbs up on this dish!

This dish is really easy to make, especially if you buy the butternut squash already peeled and diced, which is what I do. It is worth it to me to pay a bit extra to have that part of the work already done! However, if you can’t find pre-cut squash, or you prefer to start with a whole squash and cut it up it yourself, click here for a tutorial on how to peel and dice it.

Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time40 mins
Total Time45 mins
Servings4

Ingredients

  • 20 ounces diced butternut squash (about 4 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 14 ounces kielbasa (sliced into 1/4 inch thick circles (I used a light kielbasa to minimize calories and fat)
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the diced butternut squash, olive oil, and garlic salt, and mix until coated.
  • Spread the butternut squash on a baking sheet in a single layer. If your baking sheet is not large, use two baking sheets so that you will have room to add the kielbasa later.
  • Roast the squash for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheets and stir the squash.
  • Add the kielbasa and red onion to the baking sheets, return to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes.
  • Stir and roast for another 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve over rice or on its own.

    What a yummy recipe! I am on a delicata kick since I found it doesn’t need peeling, so I would do it with that and vegetarian sausage Tofurky. My post features an Asian soup made with turnips.

    This sounds so good and I have both on hand right now. May just have to make this for dinner this week. Thanks for sharing on the weekend re-Treat link party!

    That looks so tasty! And I agree, we shouldn’t forget about butternut squash! My son in particular is a big squash fan.

    Thanks for sharing on This Momma’s Meandering Mondays!

    This looks great and so easy, which is always a super plus! I’ve never cooked with kielbasa, but I happen to have some links of turkey sausage already – how do you think that would work as a substitute with this recipe?

      I definitely think that would work! Anything with a lot of spices and a little bit of saltiness would be awesome. Let me know how it turns out if you try that. Thanks for stopping by!

      Thanks, Tara! The pictures are definitely the piece that takes me the longest. I am not a natural, so I have to make up for the lack of talent with a lot of time and effort LOL. So your compliment really means a lot! Thank you so much! Hope you have a great week!

    Your recipe looks really good! I tried a similar combo the other night for dinner- used some left over sausage, and was amazed at how delicious it was. I am anxious to give your recipe a try! just popping over from the Tuesdays Table Link Party. I have pinned, liked and tweeted, and g+-ed. I would love it if you would drop by my site at http://www.kneadedcreations.com for a short visit! I will look forward to seeing you there! Deb @ Kneaded Creations.

    I would never think to put butternut squash and kielbasa together. But I am known for being a huge lover of kielbasa. Butternut squash seems the perfect compliment this time of year. Will be trying this for sure!
