Ingredients

1 butternut squash
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
sea salt, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425℉.
Cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
Peel and cut the squash into similar size cubes, approx. ½".
Drizzle olive oil over the cut squash and toss to evenly coat.
Transfer the squash to the baking sheet and spread out, ensuring no two pieces touch.
Season with salt and cook for approx. 40 minutes, tossing the cubes halfway through. Check with a fork to ensure the squash is tender and golden before removing. Cook for an additional 5 minutes if needed (depends on the size of your squash cubes). Repeat in 5 minute increments as needed.
Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, and enjoy.

Notes

Storage - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, just spread out the roasted butternut squash on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for 3-4 hours. Transfer to a freezer safe container and keep for up to 3 months.
