3. Spread the butternut squash on a non-stick baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.
4. While the butternut squash is roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Add the sliced onions and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized and golden brown.
