1 handful candied pecans or other nut of your choice
1 handful pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Notes
How to prepare Roasted Butternut Squash: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the long top off the squash to separate it from the bottom round part. Cut each of these two parts in half length wise and use a spoon to scoop out seeds. Peel and dice squash into bite-size pieces and lay them on a foil-lined baking sheet for easy clean up. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast at 400 degrees until soft and slightly golden, about 20 minutes.
