Earlier this week, a forum member was asking me about my roasted butternut squash recipe. As most of you know, I cook because I want to be able to eat foods that are as nutritious as possible. This food is no exception. In fact, a serving size of 100 grams is only 45 calories. It is also a great source of vitamins (especially vitamin A). It has a sweet taste and contains only two grams of sugar. Now, that is a food I definitely want to cook with!

Here is the recipe :

Roasted butternut squash

Ingredients :

• 1 Butternut squash (1-2lbs)
• 1 or 2 Tablespoon(s) of melted butter
• A little bit of olive oil
  
• Spices : Salt,Cinnamon and curry (to taste)

Cooking Instructions :

1. Preheat oven to 375F
2. Place the squash in the microwave for 3 minutes. Then cut it in small dices (remove skin and seeds).
3. Pour a little bit of olive oil in a cooking tray. Add the diced butternut squash. Pour the melted butter on it and add the spices.
4. Cook for 20 minutes.
5. Enjoy!

As always, if you try it out, let me know!
