One of our favorite things about the colder weather coming up is simple: butternut squash. It is so unbelievably rich and delicious, and is packed with health benefits. This oven-roasted thyme butternut squash cubes recipe is an amazing way to kick off the colder seasons. Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients.
Butternut squash:
Like we said earlier, butternut squash is loaded with benefits. Because it is high in omega-3 fatty acids, it has potent anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant properties as well. It has also shown anti-diabetic benefits and blood pressure regulation.
Thyme:
It is packed with antioxidants, and was shown in a study from Natural Product Communications to have anti-cancer properties.
Turmeric:
The superspice has antiviral, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties, and has shown benefits in the area of breast cancer prevention, cold and flu, heart health, and Alzheimer’s.
Directions:
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
• Cut the squash in half and remove seeds
