Ingredients

• 4 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 spray (enough to lightly coat) olive oil or avocado oil spray
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Spread the diced butternut squash evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly coat with the olive oil spray and toss to coat.

Step 3

Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until it begins to soften and develop some color. Toss the squash halfway through for even roasting.

Step 4

While the squash is roasting, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray the skillet with olive oil or avocado oil spray.

Step 5

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 8–10 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the roasted butternut squash from the oven and add it to the skillet with the cooked onion and pepper.

Step 7

Sprinkle the mixture with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and squash to crisp slightly.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm as a breakfast side or a healthy addition to any meal.
