Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Start by peeling the butternut squash with a vegetable peeler.

Step 3

Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.

Step 4

Slice the squash into 1-inch cubes, trying to keep them uniform for even cooking.

Place the butternut squash cubes on a large baking sheet.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil over the squash and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.

Step 7

Toss the squash cubes gently to ensure they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.

Step 8

Spread the cubes out in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and serve hot as a side dish or allow to cool for a warm salad.
