Vegetarian Butternut Squash Roasted Easy Healthy Fall Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Start by preparing the butternut squash. Peel the squash using a sharp vegetable peeler, then carefully cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon and discard them. Proceed to cut the squash into bite-sized cubes.

  3. Place the squash cubes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil and maple syrup over the squash. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting the quantities to suit your taste preferences.

  4. Use your hands to gently toss the squash cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the oil, syrup, and seasonings. Spread the cubes out in a single layer on the baking sheet.

  5. Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized around the edges. Be sure to toss the cubes halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

  6. Once the squash is beautifully roasted, remove it from the oven. Transfer the cubes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this Easy Butternut Squash dish.
