Hey everyone! Being that the air is getting a bit cooler, I am loving roasted veggies as a side dish! I recently picked up butternut squash and decided to quickly make a super simple dish of roasted squash! So, I decided to give you this quick and easy recipe! Your house will smell absolutely amazing while it is cooking :)

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 Butternut Squash

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil (depending on how large your squash is)

  • 1 tablespoon of Oregano

  • 1 tablespoon of mixed herbs (I choose the premixed herbs from Whole Foods)

  • 1 teaspoon of thyme

  • A few pinches of salt

First, you’ll need to set your oven to 400 degrees and if it has a roast option, choose that. While your oven is pre-heating, peel, pit, and dice your butternut squash into small cubes. Don’t throw away the seeds! They are great for roasting as well :)

Next, take a medium to large sized bowl and throw in your squash followed by your olive oil. Mixed your olive oil until all the squash cubes are evenly coated. Next, sprinkle your salt and mix until well combined.

Was everything is nicely coated, you want to mix in all your herbs.

Take out a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil that has been sprayed with non-stick spray (just to ensure the butternut squash doesnt give you a hard time). Evenly spread your squash onto the pan and pop it into the oven for about 30-45 minutes or until you insert a toothpick into the center of the largest cube and it is nice and soft.

And that’s how simple it is! I have to admit, cutting and dicing the squash is a bit tricky… but you definitely get a good arm workout from it :)
