Roasted Butternut Squash & Tri-colored Taters

 If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby then you know that one of their best selling tactics is offering tastings of their products: coffee, wine and my favorite, the food samples. They always offer samples of dishes they’ve created using products from the store. And I almost always end up buying these products after tasting the samples! That is where this recipe came from.

Isn’t it pretty? This recipe is so easy and there is just a few ingredients.

Trader Joe’s sells small bags of these tri-colored potato medley. It’s a combination of baby reds, yukon gold and purple potatoes. I washed them and cut them into equal size pieces.

TJ’s also sells pre-cut butternut squash. You’ll find it in the refrigerated produce section. If you don’t have a TJ’s near you, you’ll just have to peel and cut it yourself.

Place the vegetables on a baking sheet and drizzle with a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Chop 2 small cloves of garlic. I had some fresh rosemary and still growing in my garden and I thought it would be a nice addition to this recipe. This ingredient is optional.

Add rosemary and garlic to the pan and toss well (use your hands, it works best).

Place in a 400 degree oven for fifteen minutes. Remove from oven and gently stir. Cook for another 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender and slightly browned.

That’s it! Easy, healthy and delish!
