Roasted Butternut Squash {with Garlic and Herbs}

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 lb) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes*
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh thyme
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh sage
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place butternut squash on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary, thyme, sage and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss to coat then spread into an even layer.
  • Roast in preheated oven 20 minutes. Remove from oven add garlic and toss squash with a thin metal spatula.
  • Return to oven and roast until soft, about 10 - 20 minutes longer.
  • For more browning move oven rack near broiler and broil squash 1 - 3 minutes (keep a close eye on it it as it will brown quickly!).
  • Sprinkle in parsley, serve warm.

Notes

  • For easier peeling microwave the squash (left whole) 1 minute, then peel.
  • You don’t need to use all three herbs, but I do recommend using at least 2 of them.
