Ingredients

• 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 12 sage leaves

Here's how to make it:

1. In large bowl, toss squash with olive oil and sage. Season with salt and pepper. (If you can't find fresh sage, you can sprinkle the squash with ground sage. Try this recipe with pumpkin, acorn squash or your favorite winter squash.)
2. Spread squash on baking sheet in single layer. (For easier cleanup, cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.) Roast in a preheated 425-degree F oven for about 40 minutes, until tender and lightly browned, tossing once halfway through. Serve. Store the squash in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave.
