I believe one of the best ways to eat vegetables is to bake them. It brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables. I do the same with carrots like carrot sticks. The best part is the kids will like it too.

  • Butternut squash – Make sure it’s heavy with firm skin, but without bruises, no brown scars, or punctures.
  • Olive oil – You can use cooking oil or other flavored oil, such as garlic oil, avocado oil, chili oil. Olive oil enhances the flavor of the squash.
  • Seasoning – There is a lot more you can add to this squash to compliment the main course you are serving. Try paprika, garlic salt, thyme, rosemary, ready-made potato seasonings, etc
