This recipe creates enough shredded chicken for 2 to 3 meals. It's a savory, universal base; once cooked, you can supplement with any number of spices or treatments to make tacos, taquitos, soups, enchiladas ... even Italian or Indian applications if you like.

Roasted Butternut Squash
========================

Vegan

## Description

The great thing about roasting butternut squash is that you just throw the whole squash into the oven, forget about it for about an hour, and the cooking is all self-contained - no prep (no need to chop up an uncooked gourd), no other ingredients and no messy dishes afterward.

__Ingredients__
## Ingredients

* Whole Butternut Squash
* Chili powder (optional)

__Directions__
## Directions

1. Roast a whole butternut squash in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes to an hour until it is nice and soft.
2. Cut open the squash, scoop out the seeds and discard the peel. Cut into bite-sized pieces and the squash is ready to go. No seasoning is necessary, but the sweet buttery flavor of the squash is pretty tasty with chili powder.
