Baked Butternut Squash
This easy baked butternut squash is delicious to eat and looks beautiful on the plate served right from the skins. Sometimes simplicity is best, and that's definitely the case with this recipe. Perfect as a holiday side dish. Or, peel the skin and mash the flesh for mashed butternut squash, or use in other recipes!

    • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces
