Olive Oil Roasted Butternut Squash
Report
Crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside, roasted butternut squash is the perfect alternative to potatoes.

Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds butternut squash Peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil see notes
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
- Place the butternut squash cubes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and use your hands to mix it into the squash cubes.
- Add the salt, garlic powder, and chili powder. Mix well.
- Arrange the butternut squash cubes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them for 15 minutes.
- Gently stir, then continue roasting until tender, 10-15 more minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can mince a couple of garlic cloves instead of using garlic powder. The flavor will be more pronounced. However, garlic powder has the advantage of more evenly coating the squash cubes. So I prefer it over fresh garlic.
- Prefer a high smoke point fat? I love melted ghee in this recipe.
- You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. They're excellent when gently reheated in the microwave at 50% power. They are also surprisingly good when eaten cold straight out of the fridge!
- I don't recommend using frozen butternut squash cubes in this recipe.
