INGREDIENTS:
- 1 medium butternut squash (peeled and cubed)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons salted butter

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

- Toss the butternut squash in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it evenly on a cookie sheet.
- Roast the squash, tossing occasionally, until tender and slightly browned, about 20 minutes.
- Heat the butter and sage leaves over medium-high heat, swirling it around the pan every couple of minutes. Once the butter foams up and starts browning, remove from heat. You want it to be a light amber color, but not burned.
