Directions
Butternut Squash is such a great replacement for potatoes. I love eating it crispy or as part of my vegetables in my Mediterranean Sardines and Vegetables. The best and easiest way to make it is the Mediterranean style. Simply cut it to bite size cubes and add chopped garlic, olive oil, Atlantic sea salt, and pepper. Simple yet delicious and did I mentioned it’s healthy?
Health Benefits
The butternut squash is rich in vitamin A, potassium, and fiber. It’s also a good source for vitamin E, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, pantothenic acid, and manganese.
The squash has a lot of carbs so i eat it in moderation as it is not exactly part of our low carb Mediterranean diet.
Preparation:
This probably one of the easiest side dishes you can make. Simply peel the butternut squash remove the seeds and cut it to cubes. Mix the squash with chopped garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper and bake in a preheated oven at 400f
