Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Butternut squash medium, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil extra virgin preferred
  • 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves only, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the cubed squash onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, black pepper, and salt. Toss until the cubes are evenly coated.
  • Spread the squash into a single, even layer to ensure proper roasting rather than steaming.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the squash is tender and lightly browned on the edges.
  • Serve warm as a side dish, or transfer to a blender with a splash of warm broth to mash into a creamy pasta sauce.
