Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. In a small bowl, add maple syrup, oil, garlic, salt, and thyme. Mix well to combine.
  3. Place the prepared butternut squash to a large bowl and pour over the maple mixture. Mix until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the squash and spread it evenly to a large baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 30-40 min, or until the tops start to brown and caramelize.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
  7. Garnish with extra thyme, dried cranberries and pecans if desired.

Notes

  • Butternut squash: Buy it whole or buy it peeled and chopped.
  • Maple syrup: Use real maple syrup (not pancake syrup) for the best results. You can also substitute honey.
  • Fresh thyme: You can substitute it with dried thyme, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • If your squash is tender but not golden brown on the edges, you can broil it for a few minutes, in the end, to help it caramelize.
  • Storage: Store in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
