Shamelessly Simple Baked Butternut Squash

Recipe #78219 | 50 min | 5 min prep | add private note

I came up with this on a week night when I just wasn't up to making anything fancy. Luckily, it worked out wonderfully. Most supermarkets sell butternut squash pre-cubed which makes this even easier.

Keeper! Thanks for posting MCK. I cut back on the oil and put quite a bit of course sea salt on. Yummy! Mine was done in 30 minutes.

    I was looking for a simple recipe for baked butternut squash and this fit the bill. I did cut back on the oil but the flavor was still very good. Next time I might try sprinkling some cinnamon or nutmeg on before serving. I used the leftovers to make Roasted Butternut Squash Soup.

    I don't usually buy butternut squash because they are a so hard to peel and cut up. However, I found some beautiful ones from Colorado at our local market and bought one. On Thanksgiving Day, I was looking for a less caloric way to fix it and found this recipe! So simple.....I use this method for sweet potatoes but never thought of it for butternut squash. It was absolutely delicious! I used a sprinkle of Kosher salt before it went into the oven. MadCatKim, thanks for the fantastic recipe!
