Serving5 servings
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed, and cubed
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 3 Tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon, depending on how much you want
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉.
- Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. I also lined my baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up.
- In a large bowl, toss squash with olive oil, honey, and cinnamon until all pieces of squash are lightly coated.
- Spread squash in a single layer on the baking sheet (if you need to use two sheets to make it, be sure they are all in a single layer. If there is any overlap, the squash will steam instead of roast and we are going for that caramelized outside).
- Roast in pre-heated oven for about 40 minutes or until squash reaches desired tenderness.
- Top with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes
To make this recipe even easier, at my grocery store (I shop at Kroger), they sell pre-cut butternut squash for a great price, so that is usually what I get when I make this dish.
