Have you ever heard of Butterkin Squash? This fall favorite is a cross between a Butternut Squash and a Pumpkin! While it looks more like a pumpkin, the flavor profile is much closer to its Butternut Squash relative. This squash is sweet with smooth flesh making it perfect for fall pies and soups.
Ingredients:
- 1 butterkin squash
- ¼ teaspoon salt

- Cut the squash into evenly sized wedges and and toss in a medium sized bowl with the olive oil and seasonings.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for about 20 minutes.
- Use tongs to flip each wedge and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until fork tender.
- Serve and enjoy!
