Ingredients

  • 2 pounds butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the squash cubes in a single layer on the pan.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, salt and  pepper.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the squash, then toss to coat evenly.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until squash is tender and browned.
  6. Sprinkle with parsley if desired, then serve.

Notes

  • I cut my squash into 3/4 inch pieces - it may seem a little large, but the squash shrinks down as it cooks.
  • This recipe also works with pre-cut butternut squash from the produce section if you want to save a little prep time.
  • You'll want to stir your squash occasionally to make sure all of the sides get caramelized and browned.
  • Line your sheet pan with foil before you coat it with cooking spray for easier clean up.
