Ingredients
- 2 lb. butternut squash
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil or another high smoke point oil
- kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Prep the butternut squash. If roasting the squash in halves, leave on the skin and slice the squash in half. If roasting the squash in cubes, peel the exterior with a vegetable peeler. Make sure all the white/light orange parts have been removed. Then slice down the middle, and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. For cubed, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
- To roast the butternut squash in halves, place on a baking sheet with the flesh side-up drizzle both sides with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- To roast chopped butternut squash, place the cubed butternut squash in a large bowl. Drizzle on the oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss until all the pieces are coated, then pour onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping the butternut squash at the 15-minute mark so that the other side caramelizes.
- When done, the squash will be fork tender and slightly browned.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy!
Notes
- How to store: Let the butternut squash cool completely, then transfer to an airtight storage container. Store in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in the microwave.
- How to freeze: Transfer the roasted butternut squash into an airtight freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator before reheating and enjoying.
