Ingredients

• 1 medium butternut squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 2 cloves garlic

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 3

Peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut off both ends, then slice the squash in half lengthwise.

Step 4

Scoop out the seeds using a spoon or melon baller, then cut the squash into 1-inch cubes for even baking.

Step 5

Place the squash cubes into a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the bowl with the squash.

Step 7

Finely chop the fresh rosemary and add it to the mixing bowl.

Step 8

Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and toss everything together to evenly coat the squash cubes.

Step 9

Spread the coated squash cubes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 10

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized, flipping halfway through baking time for even roasting.

Step 11

Once baked, remove from the oven and serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a delicious addition to salads or grain bowls.
