Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten

Cooking Tips:

- To make the butternut squash easier to peel, cut off the top and bottom, then slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
- Be sure to dice the butternut squash into small, bite-sized pieces so that it cooks evenly.
- When rolling out the puff pastry, be sure to dust your work surface with flour to prevent sticking.

Cooking Process:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the diced butternut squash with the olive oil, chopped sage, salt, and black pepper.
3. Spread the butternut squash mixture out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
4. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to a rectangle that's about 12x16 inches.
5. Transfer the puff pastry to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Spoon the roasted butternut squash mixture onto one half of the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
7. Fold the other half of the puff pastry over the top of the butternut squash mixture and press the edges together to seal.
8. Brush the top of the puff pastry with the beaten egg.
9. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
10. Let the Butternut Squash and Sage Foldover cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
