This is so decadently sweet it’s just as suitable as dessert. Tender bites of roast butternut squash, with a sweet, maple hinted glaze. The prep is incredibly easy, and leftovers can be mashed to use in other recipes.
The pumpkin maple butter I found in jars similar to apple butter at Costco. You can substitute almost any jelly or fruit butter with similar results.
Tip: To turn butternut squash into cubes, peel with a vegetable peeler. Cut off the bulb of the squash. Slice bulb in half; remove and discard seeds. Slice top portion of the squash into 1/2 inch thick planks. Slice planks into sticks, then those into cubes. Slice bulb into cubes in the same way.

How to Make Glazed Butternut Squash
- Preheat oven to 350. Spread pumpkin maple butter over squash cubes in a large casserole dish.
- Bake, uncovered, about an hour or until squash is tender.
- Stir gently to coat with the syrupy juices that will collect in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- I put a little fat free cool whip on top to turn this into dessert. For those not watching their diet, ice cream would be great. It tastes a bit like pumpkin pie.
