Creating Roasted Butternut Squash with Garlic & Herbs is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Squash: Carefully peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
3. Cube the Squash: Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
4. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cubed squash, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Mix until the squash is well coated.
5. Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure there’s space between the pieces for even roasting.
6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
7. Garnish: Once roasted, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
