Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces (about 2 lbs)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together all spices in a small bowl.
- Place the squash on the baking sheet and drizzle with the oil (3 tablespoons) and add the spice mixture. Toss together until evenly coated.
- Spread squash out evenly on the baking sheet, making sure the pieces don't touch as much as possible (otherwise they will steam, and won't roast evenly nor brown on the sides)
- Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until browned, tossing once halfway through.
