I don’t know about you … but when butternut squash is in season, I love finding ways to include in meals at least a few times a week! So here’s my latest recipe–seasonal butternut squash hash browns. It features this crave-worthy veggie. It’s a colorful and scrumptious twist on hash browns.

Make it for breakfast and pair it with plant-based eggs. Think beyond breakfast, too. Serve it as an any day (or Meatless Monday!) side. If you have leftovers, they reheat just fine. Toss with pasta and goat cheese for an intriguing entrée. Or stuff them into tortillas along with refried vegetarian beans and avocado for a seasonal burrito. Enjoy!

2. Sprinkle with the avocado oil and (if using) sage, increase heat to high, and cook while stirring occasionally (don’t overmix) until squash is tender and browned as desired, about 8 minutes. Stir in the green part of the scallions.

Chef Jackie Tips!

• Do enjoy hash browns with potatoes. But for a change of taste, try them with other seasonal veggies as well, like butternut squash
• Add extra pops of color and nutrition by sautéing the butternut squash with bell peppers of contrasting colors, such as both red and green bell peppers
• Finish with freshness by way of fresh scallions
