Butternut Squash With Garlic and Olive Oil

Submitted by Quistis145

"This is a delicious AND healthy way to prepare butternut squash. This is the only way I will eat it! You may need to adjust the amount of olive oil you use depending on how big the squash is that you are going to use."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 20mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 3

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 butternut squash, average size
• fresh ground pepper, to taste

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Peel and cube squash.
3. In a large bowl mix minced garlic (i use a garlic press) and olive oil. Add cubed squash and coat with the oil mixture.
4. Dump all ingredients out of bowl and in to a glass casserole dish. Any size will do really but it will cook faster if it is more spread out.
5. Cook 40-45 minutes, stirring once or twice. Squash is done when it is tender.

Wow! This was so good! We loved the savory taste; some butternut squash recipes end up too sweet. I cooked the whole squash in the microwave for 6 minutes for easier peeling, and baked it at 350 for about an hour. Served with pork tenderloin and creamed spinach. Thanks for posting!

This was very good! I used alot more garlic and added some dried sage. It came out very caramelized and sweet. Thanks for this one! Made for I Recommend Tag Game 2009.

This is the way I like to make butternut squash! I used jarred minced garlic to make it even easier and top it at the end with some parmesan cheese and then broil for a few until it's browned.

We really enjoyed this. A wonderful alternative for those of us who try to avoid sugar. Great flavor.

Very good! Simple and quick to put together. I used 4 good size cloves of minced garlic. Will try adding some fresh herbs as others have recommended. Thanks for posting!
