Orange Roasted Winter Squash with Cranberries and Goat Cheese
I love the winter months. They are packed full of warming food that makes us forget about the cold outdoors if not just for a second.
Winter squash is one of the most bountiful foods you can find during the winter months. I love them because they are affordable, tasty, and typically offer multiple servings per squash.
One of my favorite things to do with winter squash is to roast it and throw it in salads. However, sometimes I just want to taste their nutty goodness on their own, like in this dish.
The goat cheese and orange juice add a much needed tang to the dish, while the cranberries and squash bring it home with sweetness. Lastly, the fresh chopped parsley finishes the whole dish by added a much needed touch of freshness. This dish really is packed full of well-rounded flavor.
