Ingredients
- 2 medium butternut squash
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the butternut squash, cut them in half, and remove the seeds. Slice the squash into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, sea salt, ground black pepper, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Add the cubed squash to the bowl and toss well to ensure each piece is coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned squash cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Place the fresh rosemary sprigs on top of the squash for added flavor during baking.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet, turn the squash cubes over, and continue to roast for another 20 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven, discard the rosemary sprigs, and serve hot. Enjoy your perfectly roasted squash as a delightful side dish!
