Maple-Cinnamon Butternut Squash
Report
Maple-glazed butternut squash roasted to perfection! An easy seasonal side dish and great topped with pecans and dried cranberries.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash* (about 3 1/2 lbs.)
- 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon (I use Ceylon)
- 1/2 tsp. salt (more/less to taste)
- Optional: dash of nutmeg
- Toppings if desired: pecans, dried cranberries, walnuts, fresh rosemary, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
- Carefully cut the butternut squash into about 1-inch cubes (seeds removed and peeled).
- Place squash cubes on pan. Add maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Toss well to thoroughly coat.
- Bake for about 40 minutes or until desired tenderness, tossing halfway through.
- Top or toss with any desired additions before serving. (I like cranberries and pecans.)
Notes
- *Squash: If buying pre-cubed squash, use about 6-7 cups cubed (or alter other ingredients as needed.) It’s a forgiving recipe so don’t be too worried about precise measurements.
- Flavor: Feel free to increase the maple syrup for an even sweeter taste, or add a dash of nutmeg.
- Baking: Ovens vary so keep an eye on it as it roasts.
