Butternut Squash Ingredients

Oven baked butternut squash recipe.

Easy butternut squash side dish garnished with Parmesan cheese.

I’ve been getting stuck in a cooking rut lately. Meal planning turns into the same grocery list far too often in our household. I wanted to try a new side dish and I’ve never prepared butternut squash before, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Turns out, it’s ridiculously easy to add this simple cozy winter side dish to your meals. I even mixed the final result into Evelyn’s macaroni & cheese and it stayed hidden from her sight as she scooped up the cheesy noodles. Score for mom!

I’d love to hear what your family’s favorite side dishes are! Post in the comments and share links to your recipes.
