Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash 2-3lbs
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted, or olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
  2. Slice the squash in half lengthwise*. Use a large spoon to remove seeds and pulp in the center.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, butter, cinnamon, and ginger. Brush over the cut side of the squash and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Place the squash halves, cut side up, on a baking pan and roast uncovered for 45-60 minutes or until fork tender and browned on the edges.

Notes

  • Store leftover squash in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or in the microwave until heated through. 
  • Squash seeds can be roasted and enjoyed just like pumpkin seeds.
