In a large bowl, toss together the butternut squash, onion, sage, paprika and olive oil. Transfer the squash and onion onto the baking sheet and spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
1 small butternut squash, 1 small yellow onion, 1-2 sprig fresh sage, 1 tsp paprika, 3 tbsp olive oil
Bake the butternut squash for 30-35mins. The squash and onion should be roasted (slightly brown) but not burnt. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the squash and onion to cool for 5mins.
