If you are trying to eat gluten-free, following an anti-inflammatory protocol, whole 30, keto or just plain healthy foods, it shouldn’t be a surprise that vegetables are a great option, no matter what diet you are following.
Speaking from experience, a lot of people are not a fan of vegetables. We grew up eating carrots, broccoli, and peas, but probably didn’t eat too many others. With global trading and better transportation, the variety of fruits and vegetables we can buy at the store is outstanding. However, we probably don’t know HOW to make a lot of these vegetables.
The first time I had butternut squash was when I was in college and my room mate made dinner. Now, it is a regular staple around our house. Butternut squash is great side dish or topping on a salad, like Harvest Cobb Salad.
Meal prep a batch of roasted butternut squash, throw into some glass containers and enjoy all week! It will save you tons of time and cleanup throughout the week.
