Ingredients

• 1 large (about 2.5 pounds) Butternut squash
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the butternut squash and cut off the ends. Slice the squash into 1/2-inch thick rings and remove the seeds from the center of each ring using a small cookie cutter or knife.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, soy sauce, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Arrange the squash rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each ring generously with the glaze mixture.

Step 5

Roast the squash rings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip each ring carefully with tongs, and brush with any remaining glaze.

Step 6

Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and golden brown with slightly caramelized edges.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and transfer the glazed squash rings to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or decorative entree. Enjoy!
