Garam Masala Butternut Squash

Ingredients:
1 lb fresh butternut squash, cut into chunks
1-3 tbsp oil or ghee
1 tbsp Garam Masala
salt to taste
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400*F.

2. Add oil to a baking sheet and place in oven during preheat. This gets the oil nice and melty and you can swish it around to coat the bottom of the pan and to prevent the butternut squash from sticking.

3. Add garam masala and a sprinkle of salt to the melted oil and stir to combine.

4. Add your butternut squash chunks and coat in the oil and spice mixture.

5. Roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring 2-3x.
