Ina Garten’s Roasted Butternut Squash is a classic vegetable side dish that involves roasting cubed butternut squash with olive oil and seasonings. The roasting process enhances the squash’s natural sweetness, creating a caramelized and tender texture.

Ingredients

  • Butternut squash: 1 large, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 2 pounds).
  • Olive oil: 3 tablespoons.
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon.
  • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground.
  • Optional garnish: Chopped fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2: Prepare the squash

  • Peel the butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Dice the squash into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 3: Toss with olive oil and seasonings

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed squash, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the squash is evenly coated.

Step 4: Arrange on the baking sheet

  • Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.

Step 5: Roast the squash

  • Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, turning the cubes halfway through, until the squash is tender and caramelized on the edges.

Step 6: Garnish and serve

  • Remove the squash from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze, if desired. Serve warm.
