Ingredients in Roasted Butternut Squash with Sage

  • Butternut Squash: Butternut squash has a sweet, nutty flavor with a slightly earthy and buttery undertone. It tastes like a combination of pumpkin and sweet potato. You could also substitute acorn squash, delicate squash, kabocha squash or sweet potatoes.
  • Butter: I used salted butter. You can use unsalted butter, but you may want to add additional salt. Alternatively you can also use olive oil, avocado oil, or even butter flavored coconut oil.
  • Sage: This is best made with fresh sage leaves, but if you only have dry rubbed sage on hand, start with 1 teaspoon and then adjust to taste.
