    Soft and tender, roasted butternut squash is the easiest side dish to make this fall. This gluten-free and vegan recipe packs on a ton of flavour with just a few simple pantry staples. Plus, roasting adds a much more intense depth of flavour that you would not get if cooking squash using other methods. This dish is a must on your dinner table this season.

    Ingredients

    Here is what you will need to gather to make this recipe:

    • butternut squash - one medium head butternut squash peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces (about 5-6 cups). You can also make it even easier and use pre-cubed butternut squash which you can pick up at most grocery stores this time of year.
    • olive oil
    • rosemary - I used dried rosemary buy you can also substitute with fresh if you prefer.
    • salt and pepper

    You will also need a potato peeler and baking sheet pan.

    How to Make Easy Roasted Butternut Squash

    Roasted butternut squash is a delicious side dish that is so easy to make. It is a life saver when entertaining and you are looking for some more dishes to add to your dinner menu. It literally just takes a couple easy steps to prep this dish.

    First, peel the squash with a potato peeler and cut it lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Then, chop it into 1-inch cubes. Transfer the cubed squash directly into a sheet pan. Add remaining ingredients and toss to combine.

    Transfer the pan to the 425 preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes under tender. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top. So so easy.
