Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the butternut squash, then cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, and cinnamon. Mix well to form a seasoning blend.
Add the cubed butternut squash to the bowl, tossing it thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pieces are golden brown and tender, tossing once halfway through roasting to promote even cooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the squash cool slightly before serving.
Transfer the roasted butternut squash to a serving dish and enjoy as a flavorful Paleo-friendly side dish!
