Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the 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
In a large mixing bowl, toss the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
Step 5
While the squash is roasting, in a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat until it is easy to drizzle.
Step 6
Remove the roasted squash from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle with the warmed honey, and sprinkle the dried cranberries and sliced almonds over the top.
Step 7
If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm and enjoy!
