Roasted Butternut Squash (Cubes and Halves)
This recipe shows two methods to roast butternut squash: cubed and halved. Cubed squash pieces are tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roasted until caramelized, while halved squash is brushed with oil and roasted cut-side down for a tender, slightly caramelized flesh. Both preparations produce sweet, tender squash suitable as a side dish or ingredient in other recipes.

Instructions
Roasted Butternut Squash (Cubes)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the squash, slice in half, scoop out the seeds, and cut the squash with a sharp knife into cubes.
- Arrange the cubes evenly onto a baking sheet. Make sure your baking sheet isn't overly crowded. If you need to, use a second baking sheet.
- Drizzle the oil over the cubes and season with salt, and pepper. Toss the cubes to make sure they're well coated.
- Roast the butternut squash for about 40 to 45 minutes. Halfway through, toss the cubes with a spatula so that all edges get nicely caramelized.
