  • Cut the Squash Safely: Use a sharp knife to cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy flesh from the center using a spoon. Be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Roast the Squash Properly: Toss the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Use Fresh Apples: Choose firm, crisp apples for this recipe. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady apples are all good choices.
  • Make the Maple Syrup Glaze: Combine maple syrup, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a small bowl. Brush the glaze over the roasted squash and apples during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Serve Warm or Cold: This dish can be served warm or cold. It is delicious as a side dish or as a main course with a salad.
