I decided to make this recipe in order to use up some butternut squash I had on hand and it was a great choice. I especially appreciated the healthy preparation, without any added oils. The only change I made was to add 1/2 tsp of cayenne to the spice mix which nicely balanced the sweet with the savory. Served over couscous. Thank you CPolencheck for sharing this delicious and healthy recipe.
