Simple Roasted Hasselback Butternut Squash – a simple, aesthetically pleasing delicious fall and winter side dish! Whole 30 compliant and paleo friendly, too!
Oh yay, get excited!! I’ve been waiting to share this recipe with you and it’s finally posted! In November we took a trip to Bodega Bay, CA for the weekend and found this tiny farm stand on the side of the road. The stand had tons of veggies – all different types of squash, broccoli, greens, all kinds of beans, potatoes, I really can’t name everything they had because there was so much! Everything was organic AND relatively cheap! The coolest part is that it was the honor system. In order to pay, you had to weigh everything yourself and write down how much you owe and put the money into a box.
I know that as a food blogger, I am supposed to start with the seasonal food items first, but that is not the case. I always feel behind! However, squash is around for fall and winter, so this recipe is just in time! Haha. I hope you enjoy!
