    I ate this for dinner with a side of bean salad and I was one happy lady.  I loved how this dish came out.  The garlic paired with the sweetness of the squash was a perfect combination.

    Butternut squash is packed with Vitamin A (the beta-carotene gives the orange color) which is crucial for  healthy immune system and vision health.  It is also loaded with powerful antioxidants B vitamins and minerals as well.  This squash is also high in fiber and low in calorie.  That should be reason enough to try it 🙂

     

    Delicious Garlic Butternut Squash

    • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
    • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon pepper
    • 3 ½ pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
    • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

     

    Directions

    1. In a large bowl, combine the parsley, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add squash and toss to coat.
    2. Transfer to an ungreased shallow 2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 50-55 minutes or until squash is just tender.  Makes 6 servings.

      This looks delicious. And everybody in my family loves butternut squash. Do you have any healthy suggestions for add-ins that would help the men in my house see this as a "meal?" I'm making progress with them, but this alone would still probably strike them as a "side dish." 🙂

      Hi Laurie,
      I might try this one myself. Will let you know if Uncle Bill likes it. I'm trying to get him off the range so to speak.
