Delicious Garlic Butternut Squash

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 🙂
