Ingredients

• 1 large butternut squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the butternut squash, then slice it into 1/2-inch thick rings. Use a spoon or knife to remove the seeds from each ring, creating a hollow center.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the squash rings to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly in the honey mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the squash rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 6

Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the squash rings for added flavor.

Step 7

Roast the squash rings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even caramelization.

Step 8

Once the squash rings are tender and golden brown, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish, or use them as a vibrant addition to salads or grain bowls.
