There are many different methods to prepare this delicious veggie! Whatever kitchen appliances you have will be sufficient. You can roast them, microwave them or saute them.
Is Butternut Squash Keto?
For the most part, it’s not a keto friendly/keto approved ingredient in most strict dieters’ books, because of how many net carbs there are in butternut squash – approximately 13-15 per cup (which is definitely not ideal).What you eat in the rest of the day as well as what other ingredients are present in your butternut recipe plays a role in whether or not it’s going to work for your diet.
