My new favorite way to make butternut squash! I was recently craving something sweet and salty. Instead of snacking on something I would later regret, I added the flavors to my veggies and it was a huge hit!
Ingredients
-
1-2 lbbutternut squash, cubed
-
2-3 Tbspolive oil
-
2 pinchred pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
-
1/4 choney
-
1 pinchsalt & pepper (adjust to taste)
How to Make Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Costco sells organic cubed butternut squash. I use it all the time and its a great time saver. - Place cubed squash in your roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 15 min, then remove from oven to add honey and red pepper. Give a toss and return to oven until tender. (If you prefer a bolder flavor, add more honey and red pepper after about 10 minutes)
- Roasting time will vary, depending on what size pan you have and how much is in it. My pan was a 9x9 roaster, so it took about 35-40 minutes to cook. If were in a larger pan and more spread out, it would have cooked a little faster. Check periodically to see if the squash is tender.
