Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 Tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Get out a large sheet pan.
  • Toss together squash, oil, curry powder and salt. (I do this on the sheet pan to avoid having to wash another dish.) Spread squash evenly on sheet pan.

Notes

  • Cut evenly: Cut the butternut squash into equal-sized cubes to ensure they roast evenly.
  • Adjust spices: Add more spices! Curry goes well with this dish, but you have many options when it comes to seasonings. Squash pairs beautifully with cinnamon, but you can also add sage or cayenne to make it more savory or spicy.
  • Save the seeds: Don't toss squash seeds! They make a terrific snack if you treat them just like pumpkin seeds. Simply clean, drain, and dry the seeds with a paper towel before baking at 300°F for 45 minutes to an hour, or until crisp. And there you have it: something to eat while watching TV or reading.
  • Try ready-made: Want to cut down on peeling and slicing time? You can go to your local grocery store and look for pre-cut squash. You'll save time working on those orange gourds if you do it this way.
