Description
A simple yet scrumptious dish that transforms fresh butternut squash into a delightful side, enhanced with brown sugar, olive oil, and spices.
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and cube the butternut squash into uniform 1-inch pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed squash with olive oil, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon until well coated.
- Spread the seasoned squash evenly on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning and tenderness.

Notes
Let the roasted squash rest for a few moments after roasting to enhance flavors. A fresh sprinkle of extra cinnamon can add a comforting touch before serving.
