The season for Paleo butternut squash pie is just around the corner. Or at least that's what we are hoping to hear, for it means that butternuts are ripe and ready for harvest.
Luckily, they are destined for more than just dreamy slices of pie with hints of cinnamon and clove. Take this roasted squash and sausage sheet pan, for instance. It is a wonderful dish to take into autumn and winter months, for it is savory, filling, and nutritious.
Loaded with apple, onion, kale, and your favorite Paleo sausages, this meal is destined to please the toughest crowd. Joy comes in the sweetness of the squash and in the mouthwatering bites of homemade sausage that combine so well together.
Best of all, it only takes one pan, so prep and cleanup are super simple. Perfect for a weeknight meal, or for the weekend rush, it is great to have an uncomplicated recipe at hand. And it sure beats the potato craze, which seems to be everyone's go-to when they don't know what to eat.
Butternut squash is loaded with Vitamin A, which is ultra-important for your eyesight; it also contains significant levels of manganese which allows your body to maintain healthy bones.
That being the case, you may want to add it to your next batch of bone broth for added benefits. Of course, if you have extra time and more squash on your hands, a batch of slow-cooker butternut squash and apple soup is definitely on order.
