Honey Roasted Butternut Squash (Cozy, Golden & Addictive!)
When the leaves start to crunch and the air turns crisp, there’s nothing cozier than a tray of honey roasted butternut squash fresh from the oven. With sweet caramelized edges and buttery-soft centers, each bite melts in your mouth. And that scent? Like a holiday candle and grandma’s kitchen had a delicious baby.
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss butternut squash cubes with olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until squash is golden, tender, and caramelized at the edges.
- Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, toasty flavor.
Notes
Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version. Add rosemary or thyme for an herbal note. To prep ahead, roast the squash a day early and reheat in the oven before serving. Avoid freezing to keep that perfect texture.
