This Five-Spice Roasted Butternut Squash recipe is the easiest and most tasty side dish you’ll ever make! It’s a great dish for busy weeknights and perfect to add to your holiday table!

I’ve had a bottle of Chinese Five-Spice powder in my cabinet for longer than I’ll admit. Let’s just say, it’s probably been in there way too long.

I’m sure I had wonderful plans for it when I bought it. But, that jar has only gone as far as being opened long enough for me to take a nice long whiff of its sweet and spicy aroma. Until the other day…

Bells went off in my head as I tried to come up with a different way to use butternut squash and realized how perfect five-spice would be.

Chinese Five-Spice is a combination of cinnamon, anise, fennel, clove and Szechwan peppercorns. Some combinations include ginger and licorice root in place of the peppercorns.

Either variation will work great with this. The sweet and nutty flavor of the roasted butternut is so well suited for the flavors of the five-spice. The spicy fragrance fills the house as this is roasting. It’s really warming and sweet.

This simple recipe could not be easier and would make a fantastic side dish for a weeknight meal or for a holiday dinner. My family, some who have claimed not to like butternut squash, loved this so much that I made it twice in just the past week!

      This is a great Thanksgiving side dish, Jacki! A two pound butternut squash will serve four people, this recipe will serve about 4 to 6. I would double this for nine people. Hope you love it and have a wonderful holiday!

    I’ve used five spice powder on sweet potatoes before and it is THE BOMB DOT COM. I imagine it’s equally as fabulous on butternuts. Mmm.

    Hey lady! Great idea! I love five spice. It has the best aroma. There is a little spice company here in Vermont (just a husband and wife team) that makes a really great Szechwan spice that is similar, but has a bit of heat to it. I bet that would be really good in this too. Pinned this beauty!

      Thanks so much, sweet friend! Oh, I’ve got to look into that company! A kick of heat would be really nice with this!
