Roasted Butternut Squash with Baby Spinach & Cranberries
This butternut squash recipe is an easy side dish — a perfect addition to your holiday menus, this recipe will become a family favorite.
Butternut squash is a very nutrient-dense vegetable, meaning it packs a lot of nutritional punch in each serving for a relatively small amount of calories. It’s an excellent source of Vitamins A and C, and full of the antioxidants known as carotenoids. Carotenoids are fat-soluble compounds, meaning they are best absorbed and used by your body when there is some fat with the meal. Healthy fat sources include some fish, nuts, seeds, eggs, and oils like olive and coconut oil.
Carotenoids are known for their role in helping to reduce inflammation and in the prevention of specific cancers. Vitamin A, for instance, has been studied for its role in reducing the risk of skin cancer and vitamin C, in lung cancer.
