Roasted Butternut Squash is a simple and flavorful side dish made with cubed squash tossed in olive oil, fresh sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Roasted to perfection, it’s tender, slightly caramelized, and perfect for fall meals.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons freshly chopped sage
  • 1 ½ teaspoons freshly chopped thyme
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 8 cups butternut squash cubes (from a 3 lb squash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare a large baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Trim ends off the butternut squash, slice in half, remove seeds, and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  4. Add cubed squash to the bowl and toss to coat evenly in the oil and herb mixture.
  5. Spread the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until tender and caramelized to your liking. Stir once halfway through cooking for even roasting.
  7. Serve warm as a side dish.

Notes

  • Bake for 35 minutes if you prefer a more caramelized texture; remove earlier for a softer bite.
  • Make sure squash is cut into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
  • You can prepare the squash ahead of time and roast just before serving.
