Coconut oil + Curry Powder + Cilantro + Salt + Pepper + Cashews + Butternut squash
And I am all for buying pre-cubed butternut squash if it’s available at your local supermarket. For some reason, I always get a weird nervous feeling whenever I slice into a particularly hard butternut squash (or spaghetti squash, for that matter), so if I can find the squash already sliced and diced for me, I am all about it!
To make this dish, simply combine all of the ingredients (except for the cashews) in a large bowl and stir until the butternut squash is coated in coconut oil and spices. Then stick it in the oven and roast while you’re preparing the rest of your meal.
Throw in some cashews for a bit of crunch when it’s all done and you’re good to go!

Coconut oil + Curry Powder + Cilantro + Salt + Pepper + Cashews + Butternut squash… each of these ingredients made this dish mouth watering and the perfect accompaniment to the Salmon I prepared for dinner!
Ingredients
- 3 cups cubed butternut squash
- 2 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup roasted salted cashews
Instructions

- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the squash about halfway through.
- Remove from the oven, place in a large bowl, add cashews and toss again.
- Enjoy immediately.
We loved it as a side with salmon, but I think it would also be fabulous with chicken or even turkey as a special Thanksgiving side dish! If you decide to give it a go, I hope you love it!

I know what you mean! I’m totally with you on the pre-cubed. They’re so tough to get through raw. This sounds great! Love butternut squash, love curry. Win for me!
I have been loving all of the squash this fall! I am with you on going pre-cut. It saves so much time and work. Sounds like a great dish!
This looks delicious! I’m always looking for new ways to cook my favorite root veggies. I can’t wait to try this out!
i think it would be delicious with sweet potato or carrots as well. on my list to try!
I was just going to ask if you thought this would be good with sweet potatoes! I’ve got a few hanging out in my pantry that need using. Yum!
Roasted cashews are the most addictive nuts on the planet, hands down!
agreed!! i think i ate a full cup while i was making dinner last night.
This sounds like a winning combination. Cashews with anything is the best! It looks like you are getting a lot of use out of the white photo box too! The photos look great! I also have anxiety about cutting up a squash.
Oh yum I love this!
I am living on butternut squash these days! It’s so good!
Curry powder is just good on almost everything.
First you convinced me to try pure barre (i’ve been going for two weeks, a studio just opened near me!). Now you have me convinced I need a light box like yours! Your pictures are looking fantastic. So does this squash 🙂
<3 <3 so glad you're loving pure barre so far!! and thanks for the sweet words!
Looks delicious! I want to eat all the cashews though! 🙂
This looks so good!! I love butternut squash and cashews-seems like a match made in heaven!
Coconut makes everything taste amazing! Thanks for the recipe!
Delicious! I’ve been eating a lot of butternut squash and spaghetti squash lately, and I’d love to try this!
I definitely agree on the pre-cut squash! I don’t trust myself to not cut an arm off!
This has been staring at me in my reader all morning. I am defintiely going to have to try! And, thanks!
Looks delicious and your pictures look so good!!
This looks SO good! Can’t wait to try it.
I made a butternut squash and spinach breakfast bake last weekend. Bought pre-cut squash, roasted the squash then added to eggs and spinach. It was phenomenal.
Yum! I love trying new ways to cook vegetables for sides, I’ll definitely have to try this! 🙂
Try throwing the whole squash uncut into the oven for about at hour at 350- this cooks the squash beautifully and it’s so easy to cut:).
Yum! This looks like a super yummy side dish 🙂
I love butternut squash, and roasting it in coconut oil is always the best. I’ve been eating it that way for breakfast lately even!
I love the nuts in this dish! I would have never thought to pair the two!
I agree with Carrie – I never would have thought of squash and cashews together but it sounds yummy!
I guess coconut oil and curry go well together, huh? 🙂
LOVE butternut squash!! Also… Curry powder and cashews make everything amazing. I actually made roasted curried cashews for christmas gifts last year in little mason jars, and everyone is still talking about them! Seriously the most addicting things ever, and so delicious.
Looks like you’re using your hobby lobby white boards 🙂 Photos look great!
This squash looks so good! Pre-cut all the way:)
Yum!!! I’m a huge squash fanatic (especially butternut), so this is riiiiight up my alley. Roasted squash is the best!!
Coconut oil plus anything is delicious in my book. Curry and butternut squash is a match made in heaven!
Your posts are so boring lately!
so sorry you feel that way, anne. it’s not intentional! if you have any topic requests or something you’d love to see, i’m all ears!
This sounds amazing!!
This looks soooo yummy! I cannot wait to try it!
I’m also with you on the pre-cubed butternut squash! The ONLY times I’ve ever been the to ER where for kitchen accidents! Eekkk!

Grocery stores will usually cut a Spaghetti Squash for you if you ask! Since all they have to do is cut it in half. I always ask and even if at first the person I ask is confused, they make it happen.
Thanks for the idea.
