• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Peel the butternut squash and cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits.

Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the squash cubes and toss to coat them evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, and paprika over the squash. Mix until the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Spread the seasoned squash cubes onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping the squash halfway through. The edges should be golden, and the squash tender when pierced with a fork.
