Ingredients
- 2 medium Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the butternut squash with a vegetable peeler. Cut off both ends, then halve the squash lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds.
Step 3
Cut each half into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even roasting.
Step 4
Place the squash cubes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary over the squash, and mix well to ensure an even distribution of seasonings.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure the pieces are not touching to achieve maximum caramelization.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the squash is tender and the edges are golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Step 9
Serve the roasted squash warm, and enjoy the natural sweetness enhanced by the simple seasoning.
