Recipe Tips

SubstitutePrepare using acorn squash.
Make it EasyButternut squash can be purchased pre-cut from the produce section of your local market. Just use 1 cup and be sure to cut it into smaller 1/2-inch cubes, if necessary, so it roasts quickly and is small enough to use as a topper for the crisp crackers.
