Italian roasted butternut squash, mushroom and red pepper

This Italian favorite of roasted veggies goes with so many things.  If you’re a vegetarian, you can serve with your protein entrée or use it for a meal and serve over rice or pasta.  It’s absolutely so easy.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of butternut squash, diced into bite sides pieces
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• salt & pepper

How to make it:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil, -it should have about a 1 inch lip.
3. Throw down all the veggies and spread evenly over the pan -like a pizza assembly
4. Drizzle with olive oil, spices and lightly season with salt & pepper
5. Roast for approximately 13-15 minutes.  Check on the vegetables, so you don’t over-cook. The vegetables will be soft -when they are finished cooking. Slide a fork in the squash to confirm.
