Simple Roasted Butternut Squash Recipes

CINNAMON ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat two baking sheets with nonstick spray.
• Place the squash cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and maple syrup, then sprinkle the salt, cinnamon, and pepper over the top. Toss to coat, then divide between the two baking sheets, discarding any excess liquid with that collects at the bottom of the bowl. Spread the cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, taking care that they do not overlap.
• Place the pans in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven, turn the cubes with a spatula, then return to the oven, switching the pans' positions on the upper and lower racks. Continue baking until the squash is tender, about 10 to 15 additional minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the rosemary over the top. Serve warm.

EASY ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• peel and cube the butternut squash (this step disappears if you can buy it already peeled and cut either in half or cubed).
• toss the squash in a bowl with 1/2 - 1 Tbsp oil (I use light olive oil or Enova), 1 tsp ground cinnamon and 1 - 2 tsp maple syrup.
• pour everything into a baking pan and roast until done - about 30 - 40 minutes. If you have the oven on lower it will, obviously, just take a little longer! When it's done it is soft and steamy and sweet. You can also mash this, if you like, adding a little margarine or butter to taste. Once you try this, you can decide if you want to use another teaspoons of maple syrup. If you don't have syrup, brown sugar (or lite brown sugar) would work too. I have not tried the new Spenda Brown sugar yet.

ROASTED, MASHED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Cut the squash in half lengthwise through the stem. (Don't bother scooping out the seeds.) Rub the squash halves all over with olive oil and place each piece on a baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast for 25 minutes, then flip the squash and continue cooking until tender all over, another 10 to 30 minutes-you should be able to pierce the neck of the squash with a paring knife and meet very little resistance. Allow to cool, then scoop out the seeds and discard them. Use a spoon to scoop all of the flesh into a bowl and discard the skins. Coarsely mash the squash with a spoon or fork and season with salt. Packed in an airtight container, it will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
