To make these delicious empanadas, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 package of pre-made empanada dough

To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the diced butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread it out on a baking sheet. Roast the squash for 20-25 minutes, or until it is tender and lightly browned.
While the squash is roasting, sauté the chopped sage, onion, and walnuts in a skillet over medium heat until the onion is translucent and the walnuts are lightly toasted. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
Once the squash is done roasting, add it to the skillet with the sage mixture and stir everything together until it is well combined.
To assemble the empanadas, roll out the pre-made dough and cut it into circles using a cookie cutter or a small bowl. Spoon a small amount of the squash mixture onto each circle of dough, then fold the dough over and crimp the edges to seal the empanadas shut.
Bake the empanadas in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve them hot and enjoy!
