Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Equipment

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are not touching for even roasting.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the squash halfway through, until tender and caramelized at the edges.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the roasted squash with maple syrup, gently tossing to coat.
