Maple Roasted Butternut Squash

There are savory fall side dishes, like green bean casserole or roasted broccoli, and then there are the sweet ones that could easily double as dessert. The most over-the-top creation on the Thanksgiving table might be the famous (or rather,  infamous) sweet potato casserole overloaded with brown sugar and crowned with a sticky layer of syrupy marshmallows. Sure, it can be tasty, but it's also one of the biggest contributors to that post-holiday-dinner "carb coma."

If you're looking to add a little sweetness to your autumn sides, we much prefer the refined beauty of this delicious maple-roasted butternut squash. Drizzled with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil that's ideal for high-heat cooking and topped with a sprinkle of crunchy hazelnuts, you'll fall in love with the nutty, mild flavor of roasted squash. Topped off with a drizzle of real maple syrup, it's a holiday-worthy side dish that tastes just as divine as a dessert—without the corn syrup or added cane sugar you'll find in other sweet sides.
