Roasted Summer Squash with Sweet Peppers and Onion
I really love this simple elegant side dish featuring a brilliant display of color in the squash, bell peppers and onions. It's the sort of simple side dish my Mom would make with the farmstand goodness my Dad grew in our garden. It doesn't get any more organic than that, and it's not only tasty but so good for you, too.
Dining Out and a Chef's Quality Dish
I recently had dinner at a high brow local eatery here in town, and they served roasted squash as one of their premium side dishes. I ordered it, expecting something really magnificent, and when my dinner arrived, I was a little taken aback by the Chef's approach to this dish. It wasn't bad, it was pure simplicity. Cubes of squash and zucchini, lightly roasted until golden and barely touched with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I roast vegetables like this all of the time at home, and it never occurred to me that this basic approach was something people pay top dollar to enjoy.
