today i've got for you a different way

to do butternut squash this is going to

be a great option for the holidays

normally when you see butternut squash

it comes creamed in a bowl this is going

to have a different presentation and i'm

excited to share it with you so the

ingredients

butternut squash

we're gonna have a little bit of salt

butter our spices i'm gonna use

allspice and cinnamon today but

certainly if you want to try something

different clove might be a substitute

maybe nutmeg

but i like these too and because i like

to stay low carb i'm going to use the

sucrin brown sugar alternative if you're

not comfortable with that for whatever

reason or you just want to go

traditional feel free to use regular

brown sugar the way we cook the

butternut squash for this is we cut it

into steaks and we do it in the air fryer 

if you don't have an air fryer

substitute out a convection oven or you

can just bake it regular so to start off

cut off the top part this is a very

large butternut squash

so we're going to give it a little

longer to cook

okay

we're going to discard this part for

this specific recipe i'm going to save

this in the fridge and use it for

something else

there's a little bit of seed here so i'm

gonna go ahead and spoon that out

okay

i'm gonna cut this into about

two and a half three inch steaks

before we put them in the air fryer or in

the oven if you're going to go that

route i just put a little bit of oil on

the outside of them

and a little bit of salt

okay now we're going to take the

butternut squash steaks and we're going

to take them over to the air fryer 

we're going to cook this for 30 minutes

at 400 degrees

and while your squash is cooking

probably about halfway through you can

go ahead and make the butter mixture in

order to do that we're going to take a

half a stick of butter we're going to

put in some sukren brown sugar

alternative again feel free to use real

brown sugar if you want a little bit of

allspice a little bit of cinnamon and a

little bit of salt so we're going to

start off by melting our butter we're

going to do that in the microwave for

about 40 seconds

now we just mix the other ingredients in

and do a little bit of the

allspice

a little bit of salt

and i'm going to do two tablespoons of

the sukran brown sugar

and then we just mix it up

okay the squash finished about five

minutes ago

now we're gonna take it out

it's still a little hot

and then what we do is we're going to

cut off the edges

so we're going to turn the squash into

squares

and then what we do is we just

slice the squash

into even pieces

and then we're going to transfer it over

you can tell the air fryer

cooks them perfectly

it's really my favorite way to cook

butternut squash now

line them up somewhat like this or

arrange it however you want on a plate

so that it looks appealing

stir up your butter and brown sugar and

spice mix

and there you have it an alternative

side dish for butternut squash for the

holidays i really hope you try this i'd

love to hear your feedback if you would

right now
