How to Roast Butternut Squash

This 30-minute recipe starts with peeling and cubing the squash so that it cooks quickly and gives each bite a nice roast-y flavor! We’ve included detailed instructions below or you can find a short video here. Next, we mix the squash with avocado oil to help it caramelize and maple syrup to enhance the sweetness. If you’re looking to cook with less oil, we’d suggest lightly coating it using an avocado oil spray. For seasonings, salt and pepper are perfect for versatility! Or, for even more flavor (optional), we find butternut squash pairs nicely with curry powder or shawarma spice blend. Follow the links to learn about the origins of each, as well as easy DIY recipes. Once seasoned, the squash is ready for roasting! 400 degrees Fahrenheit for ~20-25 minutes, and you’ve got perfectly caramelized squash! We hope you LOVE this roasted butternut squash!
