Honey Citrus Butternut Squash on plateThis butternut squash has a lovely zing to it. The orange and lemon really pop, while the honey tones it down with a lovely, deep sweetness. I love adding chopped walnuts on top then popping it back in the oven to toast. Such a lovely crunch! This is a great side dish, but also makes a great entree.

  11. Remove squash from oven and finely score slices across the tops. Do not cut through all the way. Return to oven for 20 minutes. This will help open up the squash to really get infused by the honey citrus sauce we are about to make!
