Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully peel the butternut squash and then cut it lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy fibers using a spoon.
Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes ensuring even sizes for consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried oregano.
Add the squash cubes to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Once cooked, remove the squash from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or as part of a main course.
