Ingredients
- 2-3 lb butternut squash
Instructions
- Sert oven to 400F
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. This is going to help a lot with cleanup, since the sugars in the squash are going to caramelize during roasting, and they are sticky!
- Put the squash on the pan and put in the oven. No worries if the oven isn't fully preheated, that's fine.
- The roasting time will vary according to how large and heavy your squash is. A small to medium squash put into a cold oven should be checked at 40 minutes. If the tip of a sharp knife doesn't slide into the thickest part of the squash easily, then keep roasting and testing.
- Slice the roasted squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. You can scoop out the flesh, or flip the halves over and peel off the skin, which should remove easily.
- Your squash is ready to use in your recipe of choice.
