Add the paprika (if you are not following AIP) and 1 tsp EVOO. Toss gently and form into a single layer.

Step 5

Bake for 25 and then mix up halfway through and cook for an additional 20 minutes or until squash is tender ( you should be able to easily stick a fork through.)

When about 15 minutes remains, cut the onion longways. Then chop up the apple into small cubes.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tsp of EVOO to a skillet and add the onions, garlic, salt, and apples. Saute for 5-6 minutes or until onions become translucent.
