Roasted Butternut Squash, Grapes & Sage With Rotisserie Chicken

Roasted Butternut Squash, Grapes & Sage – A Flavorful Favorite!

The most unassuming ingredients combine into a flavor profile that seems too simple to taste so complex! And yet that’s just what you’ll get from 8 ingredients that combine to make your next flavorful fav:

Butternut Squash – Roasted to caramelized perfection. Need we say more?
Red Grapes – Roasting the grapes amps up their sweetness. Additionally, the red grapes add a striking (and appet-EYE-zing) contrast to the pretty palette of this comforting, autumnal recipe.
Onion – Similar to butternut squash, roasting onions caramelizes them into a surprisingly sweet accompaniment.
Sage – Boasts a pronounced flavor that is earthy and slightly peppery in taste with hints of mint, eucalyptus and lemon. Savory sage plays a supporting role, folding through this side dish with herby notes like a beautiful ribbon tying up a delectable package!
Pine Nuts – Crown this creamy, caramelized goodness with a subtle and sweet crunch. The result? A texture as tantalizing as it is tasty to be sure!
