Instructions:
- Peel and dice the butternut squash into small, uniform cubes.

- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the butternut squash hash hot. Enjoy it as a hearty breakfast, brunch, or even a satisfying dinner.
Tips:
- For even cooking, cut the butternut squash into uniform, small cubes.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, cook the squash in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or kale for added nutrition and flavor.
- To save time, you can use pre-cut butternut squash available in most grocery stores.
- Ensure to stir the mixture occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking of all ingredients.
