A simple, delicious, and healthy side dish, roasted butternut squash is caramelized to perfection with a tender interior and crispy edges. It’s perfect for fall and holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2–3 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise, remove seeds, and dice into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Place the squash cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
  4. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown on the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

  • Cut the squash into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Can be seasoned with cinnamon or herbs like rosemary for variation.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
