How to Make Savory Roasted Butternut Squash Cubes

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the butternut squash by peeling it, removing the seeds, and cutting it into 1-inch cubes.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cubed butternut squash, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the squash is evenly coated.
4. Spread the seasoned squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and starting to caramelize, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
6. Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the squash cool for a few minutes.
7. Transfer the roasted squash to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh mint and raspberries just before serving. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to cut the squash into uniform cubes for even cooking.
• Stir the squash halfway through roasting to ensure all sides caramelize beautifully.
• Allow the squash to cool slightly before adding the mint and raspberries to maintain their freshness.

Easy Variations

• For a hint of sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the roasted squash before serving.
• Add a sprinkle of feta cheese or goat cheese for a creamy contrast.
• Toss in some chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for added crunch.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled chicken or turkey for a hearty meal.
• Quinoa or couscous for a vegetarian option.
• Roasted pork tenderloin for a comforting dinner.
• A fresh green salad to balance the richness of the squash.
