Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the butternut squash and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the seeds, then cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
Place the cubed butternut squash into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, and garlic powder. Toss the squash well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Step 4
Spread the squash cubes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out enough to roast properly.
Step 5
Sprinkle fresh rosemary over the squash cubes.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender and caramelized around the edges, tossing once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or integrate it into other Whole30-compliant recipes.
