Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes

- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 teaspoons salt sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Get out a large sheet pan.
- Toss together squash, oil, curry powder and salt. (I do this on the sheet pan to avoid having to wash another dish.) Spread squash evenly on sheet pan.

- Remove from oven and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
- Cut squash into equal-sized cubes to ensure even roasting and consistent tenderness.
- Experiment with additional spices such as cinnamon, sage, or cayenne for different flavor profiles.
- Save squash seeds by cleaning and drying them, then roast at 300°F for 45–60 minutes to make a crunchy snack.
- To save prep time, consider buying pre-cut butternut squash from the store.
