Wine Pairing
Butternut squash and carrot bread? Seems legit to me! Butternut squash is a very healthy vegetable. It is high in dietary fiber, a good source of potassium and other key nutrients. It also offers a good supply of vitamin A which is essential to protecting our vision. Squash can form the basis for a range of sweet to savory dishes.
You can add some spices such as nutmeg and ground cardamom seeds to add more kick. You can also substitute wheat flour for gluten-free rice flour if you have that dietary need. A sprinkle of walnuts would also be nice in this dish.
Also, this carrot bread can be paired with great rosé wines. Here are our top picks:
- Provencal Rosé
- White Zinfandel
- Syrah Rosé
- Pinot Noir Rosé
