Ingredients

  • – 2 pounds acorn squash (1 kg) peeled + cut into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) cubes
  • – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
  • – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) sea salt
  • – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) smoked paprika

Instructions

Notes

  • Consider enhancing the flavor with a touch of cayenne pepper or chili powder in the spice mix.
