  • Add the chili powder, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon, season with salt and pepper and cook until fragrant about a minute or so.
    1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp Ground Cumin, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, Salt, Pepper
  • Add a drizzle of water and the cubed butternut squash. Mix and cover. Cook until the squash is just fork tender, about 10 minutes or so. NOTE: You want the squash to be fork tender, but not so tender that it starts to fall apart and become mush.
