Sweet Butternut Squash

This is a very simple recipe you can make with any root vegetable, my favorites are winter squashes and sweet potatoes. It makes a wonderful side dish and works great as part of a vegan meal with some steamed kale and chickpeas!

Ingredients

• 1 butternut squash
• 2 tbsp. coconut oil
• 1 tbsp. maple syrup
• salt  to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Liberally grease a cookie sheet with coconut oil
3. Cut the butternut squash into even sized cubes, about 1 inch.
4. Spread the squash evenly onto the cookie sheet and drizzle with maple syrup and season with salt to taste.
5. Toss it all around and roast in the oven for about 40 minutes, the exact time will depend on the size of your squash.
6. Enjoy!
