Baked Butternut Squash, Lentils, and Potatoes

It's autumn and you know what that means. Squash. Gourds. Pumpkins. Apples. Cinnamon. I love the seasonal vegetables of fall, especially butternut squash. This next dish was just something that I put together on a whim. It turned out all right but a bit bland and needed a little more seasoning.

I love the bright orange color of butternut squash

Mix it all up and put it in the oven

I need to work on my plating
