Butternut squash recipes for dinner can be created with minimal effort. You can purchase your butternut squash already cut up or even diced. So, you don't have to wrestle with the squash for preparation. Here's an idea. Buy diced butternut squash, saute in some butter and a hint of cinnamon until tender. Then toss in with some fresh Parmesan cheese and your favorite pasta noodle. Yes, it's that simple! Another idea for your butternut squash is soup! Oh, you'll love this butternut squash and collards soup I make!
Butternut Squash Slices
Honestly, peeling and slicing a butternut squash isn't easy, especially if you've never done it before. But, when I want butternut squash slices, and these come from the 'neck' of the squash, that's what I have to do. And, that's what I did for this recipe. The thinner you slice the quicker it cooks.

Baked Butternut Squash Halves
I've done whole halves of butternut squash too. And, it's great. Baked in a hot oven, it just tenderizes and you scoop and eat the sweet flesh from the shell. Much like a baked potato. Here's my recipe for honey spiced squash bowls that I actually made in the GE Appliances professional kitchen as the #GreatAmericanGrandma!
Butternut Squash Nutrition
Besides just flat out tasty, butternut squash is healthy full you and full of nutrition. It's a great source of those protective antioxidants like vitamins C, E and beta-carotene. Anti-oxidants are so important in your life and to your health. Remember, these are the little 'soldiers' that fight free radicals in the environment. They help slow cellular damage, reduce inflammation and both of these can help reduce your risk of several chronic diseases!
