Equipment

Ingredients

US - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425° F (220° C).
  • Place the butternut squash cubes on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil and spices.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Seasoning Options: Swap in your favorite spices or herbs. Salt and pepper, thyme, rosemary, or smoked paprika all work well.
  • Even Coating: Toss squash with oil and spices using your hands for the best coverage.
  • Space on the Pan: Spread cubes in a single layer with space between them so they roast instead of steam.
  • Check for Doneness: Squash is ready when it’s fork-tender and lightly browned.
