When eating the Nutritarian way, vegetables are a BIG part of everyday meals. Because of this, I am always looking for the most simple but delicious ways to make them. This recipe certainly qualifies for simple AND delicious!
I ate this butternut squash with a side of lentils and a green smoothie for lunch today. It was so delicious I felt like I was eating dessert!
I bought the squash already cubed, fresh in a bag from Trader Joes. The bag it comes in allows you to steam it right in the bag. If you don’t have a Trader Joes and want the convenience of already cut squash, I know most grocery stores sell frozen, cubed squash.
The cinnamon and maple syrup are the perfect sweet to go with the squash. Add butter and salt and you have the perfect salty/sweet side dish. Delish!
Maple Cinnamon Butternut Squash
12 oz peeled, cubed butternut squash, steamed

Toss cooked butternut squash with the rest of the ingredients & enjoy!
