Tips:

Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash or acorn squash are great choices. Look for squash that is firm and has a deep, rich color.
Cut the squash into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the squash will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the squash in batches if necessary.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to prevent the squash from sticking and will give it a nice, even sear.
Don't overcook the squash: Overcooked squash will be mushy and bland. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp.
Serve immediately: Sautéed squash is best served immediately. It can be reheated, but it will not be as good as when it is freshly cooked.

Conclusion:

Sautéed squash is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a healthy and flavorful way to add more vegetables to your diet. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious sautéed squash dish that the whole family will enjoy.
