Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash with smooth, unblemished skin and a deep orange color. Avoid squash with soft spots or bruises.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise: This will make it easier to scoop out the seeds and pulp.
  • Scoop out the seeds and pulp: Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp from the center of the squash.
  • Drizzle with olive oil: Drizzle the squash with olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Season with salt and pepper: Season the squash with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Roast at high heat: Roast the squash at high heat (425°F) for about 25 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve immediately: Roasted butternut squash can be served immediately as a side dish or added to salads, soups, and stews.

Conclusion:

Roasted butternut squash is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or added to a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add some extra flavor and nutrition to your meals. With its sweet and nutty flavor, roasted butternut squash is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
