Tips
  • Substitute butternut squash with any of these in this recipe: acorn squash, sugar pumpkin, delicata squash, or sweet potatoes.
  • The best apple to use in this recipe is Granny Smith Apples or Honeycrisp Apples But any type of apple will work in this recipe. Use one variety or combine apple varieties.
  • Substitute maple syrup with an equal amount of honey, coconut or brown sugar.
  • Recipe Variations
  • Butternut Squash and Pears Instead of apples, replace the apples with pears or use a mix of both!
  • Change up the Herbs. Instead of sage, add fresh thyme or fresh rosemary.
  • Add Nuts. Sprinkle the roasted butternut squash with toasted walnuts or pecans.
  • Spice it up. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and an extra half teaspoon ground cinnamon when you add the sage.
  • Brighten it up. Just before serving stir in a splash of fresh lemon juice or balsamic vinegar.
