Ingredients

• 1 large butternut squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Slice the squash into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Place the squash cubes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and chop them finely. Add the rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the squash, and toss again to distribute evenly.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned squash cubes onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning the squash halfway through cooking to ensure it roasts evenly.

Step 7

Remove the squash from the oven and drizzle the honey over it. Gently toss the squash on the baking sheet with a spatula to coat it in the honey.

Step 8

Return the squash to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a few extra rosemary leaves if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm alongside your favorite main dish or enjoy on its own as a sweet and savory treat.
