A delightful roasted butternut squash dish infused with garlic and fresh herbs, perfect as a side or a light main.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect roast.
Peel the butternut squash and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Use a sharp knife for easier peeling and cutting.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Mix well to evenly coat the squash later.
Add the squash cubes to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the mixture.
Ensure all pieces are well coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the coated squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding to allow proper roasting.
Roast in the oven for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.
Stirring ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Add parsley just before serving for a fresh touch.
