Roasted Butternut Squash

1 butternut squash

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Peel, deseed, and cut the butternut squash into 1 inch cubes

Combine butternut squash with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with a tight lid for the next step.

Toss or mix everything so the squash is evenly coated in oil and seasonings.

Arrange coated squash on a baking sheet, optionally covered with foil for easy cleaning.

Roast in the preheated oven until squash is tender and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
