Notes
- The baking time depends entirely on the size of the squash, a small butternut squash is ready in 45 minutes, the bigger you go, the longer the roasting time.
- There is no overbaking here, and I do prefer a very soft flesh, so it's not a big problem if you leave it to roast for a tad longer.
- As it roasts, the edges become caramelized, enhancing its natural sweetness and deliciousness.
