Instructions:

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.
