Honey Roasted Butternut Squash
Honey Roasted Butternut Squash is a caramelized, tender sweet squash dish with warm spices and honey. This cozy recipe is simple and perfect for fall.
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash about 2–3 lbs/0.9–1.4 kg, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 2 tbsp 30 ml olive oil
- 2 tbsp 30 ml honey
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat and Prep
- I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking in this sweet squash dish.
Season the Squash
- In a large bowl, I toss cubed butternut squash with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp honey, ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, ¼ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp salt, ensuring even coating for a flavorful cozy recipe.
Roast the Squash
- I spread the squash in a single layer on the baking sheet, giving space to roast properly. I bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender for this sweet squash dish.
Garnish and Serve
- I remove the squash from the oven and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped parsley (if using) for a fresh touch. I serve this roasted squash warm, ready to shine.
