This is a super simple and yummy recipe that can be a side dish for a meal. It would be nice with a piece of wild salmon, chicken thighs or even grass fed steak. I love butternut squash because it can be used in so many ways and this is definitely a creative way to eat it. It is also high in Vitamins A, E, C, B-complex, and beta carotene, iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium which are all important to keep the immune system strong and healthy.
