Ingredients
- 2 pounds Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel the butternut squash, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Then, cut the squash into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed squash with olive oil, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and cinnamon. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the fresh rosemary over the squash and return to the oven to finish cooking.
Step 7
Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or use to top salads for a nutritious boost.
