Zucchini Noodles and Butternut Squash in a Garlic-Lemon Sauce image

I made this dish as one of the recipes for a charity event to benefit Place of Hope. We received amazing vegetables as donations and I thought this dish would be perfect. I wish we had grabbed a photo of my friend Suhiel spiralizing an entire box of zucchini. You can add poultry or seafood to make this dish hearty or enjoy as is for a perfect side dish or vegetarian option. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
¼ cup olive oil, divided

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the zucchini noodles, and they didn't even realize they were eating butternut squash.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook butternut squash, and this recipe is a great one. The squash is roasted until it's caramelized, and it pairs perfectly with the zucchini noodles and garlic-lemon sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of garlic, so I used less than the recipe called for. The dish was still very flavorful, and I didn't miss the extra garlic.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. I had some roasted squash that I needed to use up, and this was the perfect way to do it.
