Butternut Squash Roasted with Sage and Coconut

By stancec44

Ingredients

• 1/2 butternut squash (about 2 cups), cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 1/2 tablespoons raw organic coconut oil
• 1 dozen sage leaves
• sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425. Gently melt coconut oil. Spread out squash pieces in a roasting pan. Toss squash with melted coconut oil. Generously salt. (Do not crowd squash pieces - this will insure a good caramelizing.)

Place in hot oven. Give the pan a shake every 5 minutes or so. When squash is almost finished cooking and is becoming nicely caramelized, add the sage and toss all ingredients to integrate sage and coat the leaves in coconut oil.

Return pan to the oven and roast for a few more minutes until sage leaves are crispy but not burnt. Season with additional salt, if necessary. Serve and enjoy!
