Roasted butternut squash isn’t just for the holidays, it’s a versatile, nutrient-packed side dish that deserves a spot at your table year-round. This version adds a unique spin by tossing the squash in a glaze made with Kōloa Spice Rum, maple syrup, and warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

The result? A dish that’s cozy enough for cool evenings, vibrant enough for spring gatherings, and simple enough to elevate any weeknight meal. It’s a beautiful balance of earthy, sweet, and spiced-delivered with just a touch of island flair. Once you taste it, you’ll see why it’s become a go-to in my kitchen no matter the season.
