Paleo Butter Roasted Butternut Squash Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 large butternut squash
  • 2-3 Tablespoons of grass-fed butter or ghee 
  • 1 Tablespoon shallot salt (I use Penzeys)
  • 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  • Fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh Thyme

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the nubs off the top at bottom of the squash to make a steady cutting surface.
  • Carefully quarter the squash, and spoon out the seeds and stringy guts. You can preserve the seeds for soaking and roasting if you wish.
  • Remove the tough peel from each piece of squash, and toss it into your compost pile.
  • Cut up the squash flesh into bite sized/1 inch pieces.
  • Melt butter on stove or in microwave.
  • Place squash pieces in a large bowl and sprinkles with seasonings.  Add butter and toss to coat.
  • Place the squash on a roasting pan, and bake for 1:00-1:15, checking often for your preferred level of doneness.
  • Serve hot or eat them cold as a quick delicious snack!
