Brown Sugar Roasted Butternut Squash
Ingredients
  • 8 cups cubed butternut squash (1-inch)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped candied pecans
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius. To make the process smoother, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2
In a spacious bowl, merge the squash, olive oil, brown sugar, sea salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together. Ensure the squash is uniformly coated with the mixture by mixing thoroughly.
3
Spread the squash out in a uniform and even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4
Place the squash in the preheated oven, flipping it halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even browning. Continue roasting until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are tender, taking approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish, finishing off with some garnishes of nuts.
