1largebutternut squashSome stores like Trader Joe's sell the fresh pre cut squash, that will totally work too and save you a lot of time! If you go the pre packaged route, I suggest 2 pounds.
2tsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)I like using the Trader Joe's olive oil spray, super simple!
1/4cupfresh parsleywashed and chopped
1/4tspsea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400.
Cut up the butternut squash into 1 inch cubes.
Add the squash to a single layer baking dish. With cooking scissors, cut the bacon into 1 inch squares.
Add the paprika (if you are not following AIP) and 1 tsp EVOO. Toss gently and form into a single layer.
Bake for 25 and then mix up halfway through and cook for an additional 20 minutes or until squash is tender ( you should be able to easily stick a fork through.)
When about 15 minutes remains, cut the onion longways. Then chop up the apple into small cubes.
Add the remaining 1 tsp of EVOO to a skillet and add the onions, garlic, salt, and apples. Saute for 5-6 minutes or until onions become translucent.
Once the squash is done in the oven, add the onion and apple mixture over top.
Garnish with the added parsley on top.
