1 1/2 cups cubed butternut squash (1/2-inch)

Tips:

Choose root vegetables that are firm and brightly colored. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
Scrub the root vegetables thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Peel them if desired, but you can also leave the skins on for added nutrients.
Cut the root vegetables into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger pieces.
Toss the root vegetables with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as cumin, chili powder, or rosemary.
Roast the root vegetables in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized.
Serve the roasted root vegetables immediately as a side dish or main course. They can also be used in salads, soups, or stews.
