How to Roast Butternut Squash
Roasted butternut squash couldn't be easier to prepare, and takes very little time at all to cook. With just several simple steps you'll be on your way to roasting up some butternut squash and then preparing one of the best alternatives to mashed potatoes you've tasted!
Heat your oven to 400°, and line a baking sheet with either parchment or foil.
Toss cubed butternut squash (you can easily find prepared butternut in most markets these days, already peeled, seeded and cubed) with a bit of olive or avocado oil, some salt, pepper, maybe even a few other seasonings of your choosing, and turn out onto prepared baking sheet.
Roast the butternut squash for about 25-30 minutes, stirring about half-way through for even color, or just until the squash is easily pierced with a paring knife or fork.
