Another great idea for Butternut Pumkin thanks. I usually roast mine split in half seeds scooped and sprinkled with olive oil, sea salt, crushed garlic and thyme...Eaten hot or sliced cold in salads...Yumm

Wow! Rhis is a great way to prepare and eat butternut squash. Better buy a big one because it won't last.
