Oven Roasted Butternut Squash

Roasted Butternut Squash is one of those Fall/Winter treats that go well with so many things. I add it to salads, pasta, rice or eat it on its own as a side dish. This slightly sweet candied butternut squash is great as a side dish, especially for the holiday season.

I like to think that roasted butternut squash and roasted sweet potatoes are somewhat interchangeable. If you like candied sweet potatoes you will probably like this brown sugar butternut squash. 

How Do You Prepare Butternut Squash For Cooking

You buy the precut butternut squash chunks at the store 😆 No really, that is totally what I do.

If you are into manual labor, here are the preparation steps for butternut squash:

  1. With a sharp knife remove the ends and slice the squash in half, lengthwise.
  2. Use a vegetable peeler or knife to remove the outer tough skin.
  3. Scoop out the seeds.
  4. Cut the squash into uniform chunks approximately 1″ in size.
