Prep 10 min Cook 25 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash ((about 2 pounds/950g))
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Trim the top and bottom from the butternut squash, then peel with a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and soft flesh using a spoon. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

  3. 3

    Transfer cubes to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Toss well so the pieces are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Spread out onto a large baking sheet so the pieces are not touching each other.

  5. 5

    Bake for 15 minutes then stir and continue baking until tender and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes more. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
