CURRIED BAKED BUTTERCUP SQUASH



Curried Baked Buttercup Squash image

Easy winter side dish. I enjoy the pleasant slightly sweet true squash taste of buttercup, but any other winter squash can be substituted. The curry can be omitted and replace with your favorite spices, or brown sugar. Other winter squash can be substituted.
