Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Chop the squash into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spice blend.
Step 4
Add the cubed butternut squash to the bowl and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they have space to roast evenly.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy!
