When invited to a family dinner or friendsgiving feast—and one is pressed for time—a simple (but delicious!) side dish is ideal. This recipe comes highly recommended from a Rubenstein Law staff who made this side dish for a Friendsgiving dinner.

Tip: This easy-to-make dish takes even less time to prepare when using pre-cut butternut squash, available at most grocery stores. To add a little something extra to your recipe, consider adding: crumbled feta cheese and rosemary springs as garnish, or mix pecans into the  dish (but first make sure guests don't have any nut allergies!)

 

INGREDIENTS

1 large butternut squash, peeled & cubed

1-2 TB olive oil

2-3 TB honey

3/4 C fresh or frozen (but thawed) cranberries, halved.

1/2 TSP cinnamon

1 TSP salt

 

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
