Roasted Seasoned Winter Squash Medley

This Roasted Seasoned Winter Squash Medley features mixed cubes of winter squash tossed with a warm spice blend including onion and garlic powders, smoked paprika, cayenne, brown sugar, and salt. The cubes are coated with melted butter and olive oil, then roasted until golden and tender. The seasoning boosts the squash’s natural sweetness with subtle heat and smokiness.

Description

The dish combines peeled and cubed butternut, kabocha, or other winter squashes coated in melted butter and olive oil to encourage browning and flavor. A carefully balanced spice blend adds complexity without overwhelming the squash’s inherent mild sweetness. Roasting at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes allows even cooking and caramelization, with occasional tossing for uniform browning.

The final sprinkle of the spice mixture just before serving refreshes the flavor on the finished squash cubes. This medley offers a comforting side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses during cooler seasons.
