Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a cookie sheet by spraying it with non-stick vegetable spray.

  2. Prepare Squash: Peel the butternut squash and chop it into 2-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.

  3. Seasoning: Add honey, brown sugar, minced garlic cloves, and olive oil to the bowl with the squash cubes. Toss everything together until the squash is well coated with the seasonings.

  4. Roasting: Spread the coated squash cubes evenly on the prepared cookie sheet. Place the sheet near the bottom of the preheated oven.

  5. Bake: Roast the squash until tender, approximately 45 minutes. You can check for tenderness by piercing a cube with a fork; it should be soft and caramelized around the edges.

  6. Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delicious roasted butternut squash as a side dish or a healthy snack.
