Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Start by peeling the butternut squash with a vegetable peeler.
Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Slice the squash into 1-inch cubes, trying to keep them uniform for even cooking.
Place the butternut squash cubes on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the squash and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.
Toss the squash cubes gently to ensure they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Spread the cubes out in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Remove from the oven and serve hot as a side dish or allow to cool for a warm salad.
