Ingredients
1 whole butternut squash peeled, seeds removed, and cut into 1-inch cubes
Olive oil enough to drizzle for coating
Sea salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley optional for garnishing
Instructions
1-Getting started with roasted butternut squash is simpler than it sounds, and weโll walk you through it step by step. Begin by preheating your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid any sticking. Use 1 whole butternut squash, peeled and with seeds removed, then cut it into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
2-Next, place the squash cubes on the baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil, seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss everything together to coat the cubes evenly, then spread them out in a single layer with some space between them this helps them crisp up nicely. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes until the squash turns tender and golden brown, stirring halfway if needed for uniform cooking.
