Ingredients

Scale

Squash

  • 2 butternut squash

Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tablespoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butternut Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut off the ends of 2 butternut squash, peel them, and cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard or save for roasting later. Then, cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Season the Squash: Place the cubed squash on a baking sheet. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 tablespoon salt. Pour this mixture over the squash and toss thoroughly with your hands to coat every cube evenly.
  3. Roast the Squash: Spread the coated squash cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Turn the squash a few times with a spatula during roasting to ensure even caramelization and browning.
  4. Serve the Roasted Squash: Once tender and caramelized, remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a sweet snack to enjoy the rich buttery and brown sugar flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh butternut squash for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can adjust the amount of brown sugar for more or less sweetness depending on your preference.
  • If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg before roasting for extra warm spice notes.
  • Turning the squash during roasting helps achieve even caramelization and prevents burning.
  • Leftover squash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
