- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squash cubes with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the squash is evenly coated.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the squash cubes evenly in a single layer on the baking sheet.
