Ingredients
- 2 pounds butternut squash (1 large squash, see note 1)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme (see note 2)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Peel butternut squash and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes. You will have about 7 cups of butternut squash cubes, more or less depending on your exact squash size.
- In a large bowl, add butternut squash. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper (I like 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Toss until evenly coated. Spread in an even layer on prepared baking sheet.
- Roast until the squash is tender and starting to caramelize, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes.
Notes
- Squash: Choose a butternut squash that is firm to the touch and doesn't have any soft spots. For more information on prep, see my full tutorial on how to cut butternut squash.
- Thyme: Fresh rosemary and sage are also delicious on squash.
- Yield: 2 pounds butternut squash yields about 4 cups, peeled and cubed, enough for four 1-cup servings.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Leftover roasted butternut squash is great tossed into salads, meal prep containers, or reheated as a side dish the next day.
