Butternut squash has been my go-to vegetable for my family these past few months. It doesn’t make a huge mess to prep, I can incorporate it easily into so many dishes my family loves and it alone can be a great side dish that is easy to throw together.

While I usually enjoy it simply roasted, this is a new fun way for me to mix it up while keeping it simple.
