Ingredients
- 2 pounds Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the butternut squash with a vegetable peeler, then cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Step 3
Slice the squash into 1-inch cubes, ensuring even sizes for uniform roasting.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the squash cubes with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the squash with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, then add them to the squash, tossing once more to incorporate the herbs.
Step 7
Spread the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, giving each piece space to roast evenly. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized at the edges.
Step 9
Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving as a delicious Whole30 side dish or main component.
