Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 spray (enough to lightly coat) olive oil or avocado oil spray
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spread the diced butternut squash evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly coat with the olive oil spray and toss to coat.
Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until it begins to soften and develop some color. Toss the squash halfway through for even roasting.
While the squash is roasting, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray the skillet with olive oil or avocado oil spray.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 8–10 minutes.
Remove the roasted butternut squash from the oven and add it to the skillet with the cooked onion and pepper.
Sprinkle the mixture with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and squash to crisp slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm as a breakfast side or a healthy addition to any meal.
