One of my favorite vegetables to cook and eat is butternut squash. It's so easy to prepare. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. While the oven is preheating, prepare the butternut squash by cutting it into fairly even pieces.
In a large bowl, mix the butternut squash with a couple tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper and any other desired spices.
Pour the butternut squash onto a shallow baking pan. Arrange the butternut squash into a single layer. Bake for 40 minutes.
By the time it's done cooking, the butternut squash will be very soft. The finished dish is so good, I can eat half the tray in one sitting. Luckily, 1 cup of butternut squash is only 82 calories. Add 80 calories for the olive oil. Divided into multiple servings, it's a low calorie way to enjoy a great source of vitamins A and C and fiber.
If I can cook this, anyone can!
