Ingredients
- 1 large 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 the oven to 400 degrees (200 degrees Celcius). Spray a rimmed 18×13″ baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. You can spread some oil with a cooking brush if you don’t have spray or don’t want to use it. Just drizzle a bit on the bottom and use the brush to spread it evenly. Make sure to coat the whole pan well.
- Spread the cubed butternut squash out on the sheet evenly. Drizzle on some olive oil, sprinkle the rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the pieces to coat them all evenly and spread them back out to one layer.
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Take it out and add the garlic. Toss the pieces again with a metal spatula.
- Put it back in the oven and roast until the pieces are soft inside. This will take about 10-20 minutes longer.
- If you want the squash to brown more, move the rack near the broiler and broil the squash for 1-3 minutes. Just make sure to keep an eye on them since they can brown quickly.
- Sprinkle parsley and serve warm!
