Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Carefully peel the butternut squash and then cut it lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy fibers using a spoon.

Step 6
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the squash from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or as part of a main course.
