Roasted Butternut Squash with Fresh Lemon Thyme and Apple Recipe

Just three ingredients in this sweet, delicious, simple and optimal mini meal that my friend Louise De Franco and I enjoyed Saturday at the cottage.  She’s also the licensed counselor on the Trishy Team that teaches our Phase II clients how to strengthen their emotional health while they shed pounds sustainably.   She loved it!

Ingredients:

1. One butternut squash
2. Lemon thyme
3. One apple

Instructions:

1. Set oven to 425 degrees
2. Peel a butternut squash and cut into equal sized slices
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat
4. Place squash on baking sheet and salt if desired
5. Bake until squash starts to golden then flip until golden
6. Core and slice apple while squash bakes
7. Serve squash with fresh thyme on top (I used lemon thyme from my garden) with the apple slices

So yummy, fall-inspired and simple!

We enjoyed it over a fire and it fueled us for a walk along (lol actually “in”) the Delaware River!

Cheers to food that fuels your body, is satiating and tastes great.  That’s what optimal eating is all about.
