Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash. Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size. The skin should be smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise. This will make it easier to scoop out the seeds and pulp.
  • Scoop out the seeds and pulp. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp from the squash. Be careful not to cut into the flesh of the squash.
  • Cut the squash into cubes. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Toss the squash with spices and maple syrup. In a large bowl, combine the squash cubes, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Toss to coat.
  • Roast the squash. Spread the squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Add the apples. After the squash has roasted for 20 minutes, add the apple slices to the baking sheet. Toss to coat in the spices and maple syrup. Continue roasting for 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  • Serve. Serve the roasted butternut squash and apples immediately. Enjoy!

The squash is roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, while the apples add a touch of sweetness and tartness. The spices and maple syrup add a warm and cozy flavor to the dish.
