Ingredients

  • 1 3 ish pound butternut squash peeled, seeds removed, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp of garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler. Slice it half lengthwise and scoop the seeds out of the cavity. Then use a sharp knife and cut the squash into roughly 1 inch cubes.
  • Put the squash cubes into a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to lightly coat the butternut squash.
  • Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Toss again so the seasoning gets evenly distributed.
  • Spread the spiced butternut squash cubes out onto a cookie sheet you've lined with foil and sprayed with nonstick spray.
  • Roast the squash in an oven preheated to 425 for 40 minutes, flipping the squash once halfway through.
  • When the butternut squash pieces are caramelized around the edges and tender, remove the tray from the oven. Serve and enjoy!
