RECIPE DETAILS
Ingredients
1 large butternut squash
2 T. olive oil
2 T. maple syrup
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1 t. kosher salt
Dash cayenne pepper (optional)
To Prepare
Preheat oven to 425°. Peel, seed and dice squash into 1-inch cubes. Spread cubes onto a heavy sheet pan.
In a small bowl, mix remaining ingredients, including a tiny amount of cayenne if you’d like a little heat in the dish. Pour the mixture over the squash and distribute evenly with clean hands or a wooden spoon. Spread the cubes as evenly as possible around the pan in one layer.
Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until edges of cubes are browned and squash is tender.
To Serve
This is a delicious side dish with any roasted meats, or as part of a vegetarian Thanksgiving feast.
