Baked Butternut Squash with Sage

This is a great replacement for potatoes because butternut squash comes packed with Vitamin A, B6, C and carotenes.

Recipe:

1 or 2 large Butternut Squash (look for unwrinkled skin with a light pink-beige color)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small or medium bunch fresh sage

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Peel squash with a vegetable peeler, cut off 1/2 inch from top and bottom, rinse. Cut squash in half length wise and proceed to cut the rest of the squash into 1/2 inch chunks.

In a large bowl, mix cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, olive oil, and sage together with a mortar pestle or  spoon.

Add the butternut squash to the cinnamon sage mixture and mix thoroughly until every piece of squash is covered.

Place squash evenly on tin-foil lined baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes, until golden brown. Voila! Serve with main dish or have as a delicious healthy snack!
