Roasted Kale & Butternut Squash

Roasted Kale & Butternut Squash is a great choice for a healthy side.

Some of the best side dishes for meals are simply well prepared, cooked vegetables.  I recently had a large butternut squash that needed to be used.  I decided to turn it into a beautiful side dish paired with Kale.  This side dish is great for the upcoming holidays or simply for family dinner.

I decided to season the kale and squash then simply roast it in the oven for a few minutes to make the squash soft and the kale crispy.  I actually enjoyed this as a snack too.  It’s a great healthy snack.

I love the option of making something like this as a side dish for Thanksgiving because it’s very light and healthy.  A lot of the foods served on Thanksgiving or Christmas are typically heavy with butter, this one is very light.  I guess that sort of gives me the feeling that it offsets all that pie I plan to eat?  Wishful thinking!

I know as we go through the holidays a dish like this is much needed at least for me.  I can only take so many cookies and treats and then my body needs REAL food and superfoods like this Roasted Kale & Butternut Squash.

Are you ready for an easy side dish?  Try this one!

Enjoy!
