Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Dice the butternut squash and toss it in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated. Spread the squash evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the vegetable broth and heat it over medium-low until warm. Cover to keep the broth warm.
- In a large skillet, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion for about 4-5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir the Arborio rice into the skillet, ensuring each grain is coated. Toast the rice for approximately 2 minutes until slightly translucent at the edges.
- Begin adding the warm vegetable broth to the skillet, one ladleful at a time, stirring continuously for about 20 minutes until creamy and al dente.
- Gently fold in the roasted butternut squash, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped sage leaves. Stir well, taste, and adjust seasoning before serving hot.

Notes
This risotto pairs wonderfully with a refreshing arugula salad for added contrast.
