Ingredients
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Black pepper to taste
Optional: sea salt, fresh herbs, toasted nuts for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400–425°F (200°C).
2. Toss cubed squash in a bowl with olive oil until evenly coated.
3. Add maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to coat.
4. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
6. (Optional) Broil for 1–2 minutes for extra caramelization.

Notes
Cut squash uniformly for even roasting.
Don’t overcrowd the tray or squash will steam, not roast.
Use real maple syrup for the best flavour.
Great for snacks, sides, or tossed into grain bowls or salads.
