Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 2 pounds) Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler, then slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp with a spoon.
Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes, aiming to keep the pieces roughly the same size for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the butternut squash cubes with olive oil, Herbes de Provence, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between the pieces to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
