Number Of Ingredients 11

nonstick spray (for baking sheet)
1 (3-lb) butternut squash - peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cayenne
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to omit the walnuts. The dish was still delicious.

I found the dish to be a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of spices next time.
