What is the best way to eat butternut squash?
Online Answer
It's a delicious side and compliments a variety of main dishes. I also like to toss the roasted cubes on top of a salad for a little color and texture. For oomph, you can season the cooked butternut squash with salt and pepper, then mash it with butter until you've gotten a sort-of mashed potato consistency.
