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.
