Spread the cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, taking care that they do not overlap.

Make and share this Easy Roasted Butternut Squash recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Saralaya

Categories     Vegetable

Time 33m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

16 -20 ounces butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1/2-1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon real maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • peel and cube the butternut squash (this step disappears if you can buy it already peeled and cut either in half or cubed).
  • toss the squash in a bowl with 1/2 - 1 Tbsp oil (I use light olive oil or Enova), 1 tsp ground cinnamon and 1 - 2 tsp maple syrup.
  • pour everything into a baking pan and roast until done - about 30 - 40 minutes. If you have the oven on lower it will, obviously, just take a little longer! When it's done it is soft and steamy and sweet. You can also mash this, if you like, adding a little margarine or butter to taste. Once you try this, you can decide if you want to use another teaspoons of maple syrup. If you don't have syrup, brown sugar (or lite brown sugar) would work too. I have not tried the new Spenda Brown sugar yet.
