Roasted Maple Rosemary Butternut Squash Recipe
Whipping up a Paleo Thanksgiving can be exciting (all those yummy gluten-free goodies) yet also slightly stressful. After all, you’re responsible for making all-natural ingredients taste as good as traditional favorites, or at least yummy enough to satisfy multiple palates.
Luckily, wholesome ingredients can be made to taste just as decadent as their not-so-healthy alternatives. That’s what I’ve done here to create my favorite Thanksgiving side dish!
Made with pecans, cranberries, butternut squash, and Pasture-Raised Pork Sticks, this dish is delicious and packed with nutrients. Plus, it takes only minutes to make, so you can concentrate on perfecting the main course.
Serve this gorgeous side to please the entire family and brighten your dinner table. Cheers to a healthy and happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Paleovalley.
