Roasted Butternut Squash with Spinach

Wednesday, November 14, 2012 • Phoenixville, PA 19460

I LOVE roasted butternut squash...especially when you add spinach, onions, and dried cranberries. It's the perfect healthy side dish alternative to sweet potato casserole, because you can savor the sweetness without all the fat and calories. PLUS added nutrients with the SPINACH!

 

Ingredients:

Butternut Squash--chopped into 1inch sqaures (you can now buy them pre-cut if your short on time)

Bag of baby spinach

1 sweet onion- diced

1 cup dried cranberries

1 tbsp olive oil

 

 

Directions:

 

Preheat oven to 425*

Place cut Butternut Squash  and diced onions on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes. (if your short on time, place in a microwave safe dish for 5-10 minutes. Stirring every few minutes to soften the squash). The Squash should be tender when cooked either way.

Remove from oven and mix all ingredients together in a serving dish.
