Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut off the top and bottom ends to create flat surfaces.
Step 3
Slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Discard the seeds or set them aside for another use.
Step 4
Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
Step 5
Place the cubed squash in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the squash and toss to coat evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt over the oiled squash cubes. Toss again to ensure all pieces are well-coated with the seasonings.
Step 7
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out to promote even roasting.
Step 8
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, use a spatula to flip the pieces and continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes until the squash is golden brown and tender.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the roasted squash cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it as a delicious side dish or salad topping.
