How to make Garlic and Sage Butternut Squash:

Start with the squash. I usually buy precut squash, its not that much more expensive and in my opinion, worth the little bit of extra money. On a side note, I usually only buy pre-cut butternut squash and fresh cauliflower rice. I just find it easier and a big time savor, I don't mind prepping other vegetables as they can be easily cut with a knife.

I digress, once the squash is ready add it and the remaining ingredients to a mixing bowl. Mix until everything is evenly coated. Get out a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Spread out the butternut squash mixture on the parchment paper. Try and make sure they are not touching the best you can. Bake for 350 degrees for 15 minutes, flipping after about 7 and a half minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool a few minutes and enjoy.

Making it perfect for not only lunches but as a quick afternoon snack 😃 This side dish is perfect for the holidays, you can serve it cold, and/or make it in advance. However you choose to eat it I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
