These are so good—even my husband likes them—and he hates butternut squash!

Hot, Roasted Butternut

Servings: 4–6
Preparation Time: 10 minutes + baking

Ingredients:

• 2 large butternut squash (or 3–4 small)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons Himalayan Salt
• 1/4–1/2 teaspoon cayenne, to taste
• 1 teaspoon sage
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Cut ends off of squash. Peel with vegetable peeler. Cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Cut in slices about 1/2 inch thick. Put in large bowl.

Toss with remaining ingredients. Use the smaller amount of cayenne for a mild taste, the larger amount for some heat!

Spread in single layer on big baking sheet. Roast until brown and crispy. Serve immediately.
