Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Carefully peel the butternut squash with a vegetable peeler. Cut off the ends, halve it lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the butternut squash cubes and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoned oil.
Spread the squash cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until the squash is tender and golden brown around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the roasted squash with fresh thyme leaves.
Toss gently to combine and serve warm. Enjoy as a side dish or over salads and grain bowls!
