I didn't have any thyme, so I used rosemary instead. It was still really good.

I thought the recipe was a bit bland. I added some salt and pepper and it was much better.

I roasted the squash a little too long and it got a bit too soft, but it was still delicious.

I used a different type of squash (acorn squash) and it worked just as well.

The thyme really made this dish special. I could smell it roasting in the oven and it made my mouth water.
