Ingredients

  • Butternut Squash- 1. Cubed between one and two inch squares.
  • Olive Oil– 2 tablespoons.
  • Honey– one tablespoon.
  • Ground Cinnamon– ½ teaspoon.
  • Additional seasonings as desired.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 and prep a baking sheet for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper. Also, have the squash cubed as described earlier. Place the squash cubes into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a measuring cup or similar sized cup or bowl, use a fork or a whisk to blend together the olive oil, honey and cinnamon.
  • Drizzle the mixture from the last step over the butternut squash cubes and toss.
  • Transfer the tossed butternut squash to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out so that they do not touch as best as you can. Top with any additional seasonings as desired.
  • Bake until tender and browned (25-30 minutes), flipping the cubes at least once during the baking process.

Recipe Notes

I mentioned that removing the skin from the butternut squash is not absolutely necessary for this recipe.
However, if you choose to do so there are a couple of ways that you can remove the skin.
The most common way to remove the skin from the squash is to simply use a vegetable peeler after remove the top and the bottom of the squash.
However, if the skin seems to difficult to remove you can try to soften it up by poking the squash with a fork a few times. Then, microwave the squash for two and a half to three minutes and the skin should come right off.
