Prep Your Ingredients: Start by peeling and cubing your butternut squash into bite-sized pieces. It might take a little muscle, but the sweet flavor that emerges will be worth every effort! Dice your onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Infuse with Flavor: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the Spices: Sprinkle the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric into the pot and stir to coat the onions.
