Baked Butternut Squash Cubes, Kale & Crispy Chickpea Salad

If you're wondering what to do with roasted or baked butternut squash, this recipe is really going to give you a tasty answer to that question.  Rather than using a roasted whole butternut squash, we're going to cut it into cubes, bake it, then serve with some beautiful bright green steamed kale, crispy chickpeas and bring it all together with a tahini, miso and orange sauce.

Very simple, very tasty and perfect for a hearty and healthy dinner for the whole family.  If you have someone in the family that wants to add some chicken to this, then I'd suggest some very simply baked lemon and pepper chicken breast.

If you're a fan of cinnamon, I can recommend a sprinkle of that on the butternut squash before you bake it.  That will also go well with the orange juice in the sauce.

Some people like to bake their butternut squash in brown sugar, but I find it plenty sweet enough without.  If I'm going to indulge in sugar, I prefer to keep it to dessert :)
