PALEO BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH
Want a recipe for an easy and delicious side that goes great with pretty much any protein? Of course you do! And this is just the recipe for you my friend!
Butternut squash has a naturally sweet flavor, and when baked with a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and pepper, it is absolutely delicious. If you don't use vinegar, you can get an equally delicious flavor by using some freshly squeezed orange juice. You can also add a little cinnamon or nutmeg if you want some extra spice.
My favorite part of this dish is that some pieces get a little cripsy and some are creamy, and it goes great with pretty much any protein. And did I mention it is healthy too?
Winner winner butternut squash for dinner!
