Foodie Friday: Roasted Butternut Squash
Happy Foodie Friday everyone! As we are reaching the colder months, which is my favorite time of the year, motivation to make delicious healthy food sometimes decreases. All of the holiday parties, events, and family gatherings make some people push their health goals to the side, but not this year! Today we have a healthy side dish that would bring color to any holiday party coming up!
This dish isn’t only great for the holiday season. It would be a great base to a nourish bowl or even purred for a great mashed potato substitute!
Ingredients: 6 servings
• 1 (3 lb) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes*
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh rosemary
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh thyme

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
• 2 1/2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
