Butternut Squash with Almond Honey Glaze

Butternut Squash with Almond Honey Glaze

My roommate recently, very recently, convinced me to try vegetarianism for a week to see how I liked it. So I went out and bought a bunch of veggies and whatnot. One of my purchases was a 2lb container of cubed butternut squash. This is my first attempt at preparing cubed squash and I must say it is fantastic!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 35-40 minutes

Ingredients:

3/4 pound Cubed Butternut Squash (pre-cubed or you can cube yourself)

Butter (apprx. 2 tbsp)

Honey (I used raw honey)

Nutmeg

Cinnamon

Finely Chopped Almonds

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place butternut squash in an oven-safe dish. Drizzle a little water into the dish and bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the squash is almost cooked through.

While the squash is baking; combine the remaining ingredients (to taste) in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until butter is melted. Stir.

Once squash is almost cooked through, remove from oven and drain any excess water. Pour butter mixture over squash. Stir to distribute evenly. Return dish to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from oven and enjoy.
