Rosemary Butternut Squash and Chard Polenta Bowls

These Rosemary Butternut Squash and Chard Polenta Bowls are full of creamy polenta, roasted fall vegetables, and earthy white beans.
This dish screams fall comfort food and makes me want to immediately curl up on the couch with a warm blanket, cozy sweater, and glass of red wine. And probably Netflix, because lately I have been needing some time to just zone out and nothing helps me do that better than binge watching Orange is the New Black.
Back to the dish! I know lots of people are scared to make polenta, but it really couldn't be easier. The hardest part is staying put in the kitchen so you can whisk it from time to time to stop it from getting lumpy. It's a little bit of extra work but definitely worth it for the rich, creamy, corn filled goodness that you get in the end. While you make the polenta, the butternut squash, Swiss Chard, and red onion will do their thing in the oven - getting slightly caramelized and tender. Finally I like to throw in some white beans for protein. The result is one delicious, hearty, and comforting vegetarian dish.
