Caramelized butternut squash can be a bit intimidating. However, I discovered that our Costco carries pre-cut butternut squash (woo hoo!), which makes my life just a little bit easier. Grab a container and let’s start cooking!
Caramelized Butternut Squash recipe:
Here is an amazing recipe that everyone will love! The pinch of red pepper flakes makes this dish just a little extra special. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
If you don’t have access to pre-cut butternut squash, try my no-fail, incredibly easy method of cutting one up:
| Servings |

- 1 lb butternut squash cubed (I bought it pre-cut from Costco)
- couple TBSP coconut oil
- pinch red pepper flakes
- salt/pepper to taste
Ingredients

- Heat oil in skillet over high heat, add remaining ingredients and stir. Cook 10-12 minutes, stirring only a couple times, until squash is tender and crisp-brown on the outside. Enjoy!

This is the best potato/homefry replacement I’ve had. I made this tonight for my family never having had butternut squash before and we loved it. Thanks so much!
Shanti Landon says
Yay! So glad you liked it, and thanks for letting me know, Lindsey!
Sarah says
So to make this, the squash needs to be baked first? Or raw and cubed? Excuse my ignorance, I have never worked with butternut squash before! I know, the shame!!! Lol!
Shanti Landon says
lol No prob! You can do either way! For the recipe in the video, you can bake first for easy cutting. Or, you can buy pre-cubed, and just cook it like the printed recipe! Hope that helps!
