Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven-Roasted Butternut Squash.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Grab a sharp vegetable peeler and carefully remove the skin from the butternut squash.
Step 3
Slice the squash in half lengthwise, then scoop out the seeds with a spoon, creating a clean canvas for roasting.
Step 4
Cut each half into 1-inch thick slices, and then transform those slices into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 5
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the butternut squash cubes with a drizzle of olive oil and minced garlic.
Step 6
Toss everything together until the squash is beautifully coated, then season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 7
Spread the seasoned cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have room to roast to perfection.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and let the squash roast for 25 to 35 minutes, or until it turns a lovely golden brown and is tender enough to pierce with a fork.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful aroma as it fills your kitchen, signaling that a delicious dish is on the way!.
