Zucca butternut arrosto

Ingredienti

• 1 medium-sized butternut squash (around 3 pounds)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (or thyme)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey ((optional))

Preparazione

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Peel the butternut squash with a potato peeler. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.

3. 3

   Place the cubed butternut squash into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper over the squash and toss to coat evenly.

4. 4

   Transfer the seasoned butternut squash onto the lined baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes or until the butternut squash is tender and the edges are lightly browned. Give the squash a stir halfway through baking to ensure even roasting.

6. 6

   (Optional) If you like a hint of sweetness, drizzle the roasted butternut squash with maple syrup or honey right after you remove it from the oven.

7. 7

   Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the oven-roasted butternut squash as a delicious side dish for your meal!
