Unsaved Easy Oven Roasted Butternut Squash

Ingredients

  • 1 Fresh butternut squash
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
  2. Place a damp towel on a countertop and place the cutting board on top. This will secure the board and keep it from moving.
  3. Lay squash on its side and use a sharp knife to remove stem end, then remove bottom portion to create a flat, stable surface. Stand squash up and cut down through the middle. Remove and discard seeds.
  4. Cover each squash half with oil, season with salt and place on prepared sheet pan.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes or until tender.
  6. Remove squash from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then scoop and serve.
  7. Chef's Note: If you would like to dice the squash, use a vegetable peeler to peel the squash before cutting it in half. Cut in half, scrape seeds then cut into pieces.
