Ingredients

• 2 medium (about 2 pounds each) Butternut squash
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Slice off the ends, cut the squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.

Step 3

Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes. Try to keep the pieces uniform for even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary. Toss well to coat the squash evenly.

Step 5

Spread the coated squash cubes on a large baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the squash is tender and lightly browned. Stir the squash halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the squash cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Whole30-compliant baked squash!
