Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds) butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Begin by peeling the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut off the top and bottom ends, slice the squash in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds with a spoon.
Step 3
Chop the squash into 1-inch cubes, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
Step 4
Place the squash cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic.
Step 5
Toss the ingredients in the bowl until the squash pieces are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Step 6
Spread the squash cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized, flipping halfway through cooking time for even roasting.
Step 8
Remove from the oven once done and serve hot as a side or as a topping for salads. Enjoy your Paleo Perfectly Roasted Butternut Squash!
