Simple Roasted Butternut Squash
Roasted butternut squash is so good on its own but I like to season it with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. It's also delicious topped with chopped parsley, shaved Parmesan, or toasted pine nuts.
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Peel butternut squash with a sharp vegetable peeler. Cut in half lengthwise; scoop out and discard seeds.
- Cut halves into 1-inch slices, then cut slices into 1-inch cubes.
- Combine butternut squash cubes, olive oil, and garlic in a large bowl and toss until well coated. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven until squash is lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork, 25 to 35 minutes.

Recipe Tip
To save on prep time, look for pre-cut, peeled butternut squash cubes in your grocery store.
