Ingredients

  • 3 lbs butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into 3/4 inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • ½ cup pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp fresh sage finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the butternut squash cubes with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Spread out the butternut squash on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the squash for 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender.
  • While the squash is roasting, in a small skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium-low heat. Add the pine nuts, sage and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the pine nuts are lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Scoop the butternut squash into a large bowl. Scrape the pine nut mixture onto the butternut squash and gently toss. Serve Immediately.

Notes

Add crumbled goat cheese on top for a kicked up version.
Lori's note: "Pine nuts can turn from brown to burnt very quickly. Keep a close eye on them and keep stirring".
