2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger

Rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring often, or cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until heated through, about 5 minutes.) Transfer to bowl and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, heavy butternut squash with smooth, unblemished skin for the best results.
  • To save time, you can peel and cube the butternut squash ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead.
