Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut off the top and bottom ends to create flat surfaces.
Slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Discard the seeds or set them aside for another use.
Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
Place the cubed squash in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the squash and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt over the oiled squash cubes. Toss again to ensure all pieces are well-coated with the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out to promote even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, use a spatula to flip the pieces and continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes until the squash is golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and let the roasted squash cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it as a delicious side dish or salad topping.
