Curried Butternut Squash

In this Curried Butternut Squash warm spices and sweet butternut squash come together for the perfect winter side dish. The curry mellows out while roasting in the oven. Then, it all gets brightened up with a punch of lime before serving. This dish takes a little while in the oven but couldn’t be easier. If you want, you can take the time to peel the squash. I prefer just to leave it on and remove it before eating, much easier in my opinion. This dish is great served alongside simple roast pork or chicken. You can also just serve it as a meal. Add some Cilantro Lime Rice and a little plain yogurt for a satisfying meatless Monday dish.
