Ingredients
- 1 large (about 2 pounds) butternut squash
- 2 cups red seedless grapes
- 10 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Dice the squash into 1-inch cubes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Wash the red seedless grapes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 4
Add the red grapes to the mixing bowl with the butternut squash.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil over the squash and grapes, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and a light toss. If using honey for additional sweetness, drizzle it over the mixture.
Step 6
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the squash cubes and grapes evenly on the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Step 7
Tuck whole sage leaves evenly throughout the mixture on the baking sheet.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. The squash should be tender and starting to caramelize, and the grapes will be slightly wrinkled.
Step 9
Remove the tray from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Transfer the roasted squash, grapes, and sage leaves to a serving platter.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy!
