Easy Sauteed Butternut Squash with Swiss Chard

Step 1

In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is bubbling, add the butternut squash and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. The pan should be hot enough to get the squash fairly brown before you add the chard.

Step 2

While the squash is cooking, wash the chard (so it's wet when you put it in the pan), then remove the stems and slice the chard in about 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Add the Swiss chard to the pan and cover the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, giving everything a stir every minute or so. Check to make sure the squash and chard are fully cooked. If not give everything 1-2 more minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the thyme and cayenne over and stir it in. Serve immediately.
