Submitted By:NSKitchen
Nutritionist ApprovedChefs notes
Need to bring a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner? Made with seasonal vegetables, this recipe balances the sweetness of the squash with a little heat. As a variation, you can add diced jalapenos or chili powder to kick it up even more! Note: this isn't an everyday side dish; we've made a slight exception for the holiday.
