This is a such a simple, delicious squash recipe is an amazing side for many Fall recipes.

It’s always great to stick to seasonal ingredients, as it ensures there is some variety in what we eat.

It also allows for an opportunity to meet local farmers, for example, and develop a relationship with someone who grows the food we eat.

It really brings the cycle full circle in that way.

Hope you give this a shot!
