Ingredients

5 (heaping) cups butternut squash seeded, peeled, and cut into 1/2"-1"inch cubes.
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Place the cubed butternut squash in the center of the baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil and melted butter overtop the squash. Toss to coat.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt over the squash. Toss to coat.
Spread the squash in an even layer over the baking sheet.
Bake until the squash is fork tender about 25-35 minutes. Start checking the squash around 25 minutes, cook longer if needed. *

Notes

*If your squash was cubed into larger chunks, you'll want to roast the squash for longer. Keep an eye on it. Remove the squash from the oven when you can easily insert a fork into the squash.
