Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) for ideal browning and texture.
  • Prepare the Squash: Peel, seed, and cut the squash into ¾-inch cubes.
  • Season: Toss cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired spices.
  • Arrange: Spread cubes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
  • Roast: Bake for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and golden-brown.
  • Serve or Store: Enjoy warm or store for meal prep.

Notes

Cut cubes evenly for consistent cooking. Use parchment to prevent sticking and promote even roasting. Flip halfway for a golden crust on both sides. Season delicate herbs after roasting to preserve flavor. Store in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months. Whole30-friendly if using compliant oil and spices.
