Notes

You can save time by buying pre-cut butternut squash. 

Try to get the cubes uniform in size so they cook evenly.

If your butternut squash cubes are bigger, they may need more time to cook!

You may need to cook the butternut squash cubes in batches if you are cooking a lot!

Do not overcook the butternut squash cubes; they may dry up or become soggy!

This recipe may serve up to 4 people as a side dish!

You can prep this recipe ahead of time!
