Even better with steamed kale
I made this using butternut squash instead of delicata .... I also wanted to use up a few leaves of lacinato kale before they faded. So I steamed them and put them on my plate with a dab of vegan butter, salt and pepper. The discovery was that putting kale on the same fork as the squash mixture was just delicious. I will want to repeat this combination in the future.-----Mary H.
