I’ve been testing this butternut squash recipe out on friends for a few months now and everyone is raving, so I thought it was high time I got it up on the Autoimmune Wellness site. The flavors are incredible together and even veggie-phobic kids and AIPers sick of the sweeter roasted veggies as their carb source (I get it!) will find this combo irresistible. It’s also easy enough for weeknight dinners, but looks and tastes fancy enough for a holiday menu. Give it shot and let me know what you think!

Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • ½ cup pork belly or bacon, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (omit if using pork belly)
Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix until the butternut squash is evenly coated in the seasonings.
  4. Spread out on the baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cook time.
  5. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
If using pork belly it will render a lot of fat, in which case no additional oil is needed.

    Hey Angie!

    Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I am totally in love with the great tasting velvety squash with the chunks of bacon (that’s what I tried it with). Willing to try more of your recipes. 🙂
