Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Butternut or Acorn Squash peeled and cut into 1" chunks
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Peel the squash using a vegetable peeler. Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a large metal spoon. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cubed squash, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Lightly toss until evenly coated then transfer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and adjust so it is in a single layer.
  • Pour the squash onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the insides are tender, turning the squash over with a spatula every 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
