Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Half Sheet Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 Butternut Squash, peeled and sliced into 1.5-inch cubes (use a 2 to 3 lb squash)
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 2 teaspoons chopped Fresh Thyme (can use any fresh herbs - rosemary and fresh parsley work well)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper (or generously spray it with nonstick cooking spray). (Note: If all of the squash won't fit easily on one pan with some space between, use two sheet pans.)
  • Toss butternut squash with olive oil and then brown sugar, salt, and garam masala.
  • Spread out on prepared large sheet pan.
  • Roast squash, without turning, until nearly tender, 15 minutes.
  • Remove squash from the oven and use a flat spatula to gently flip.
  • Continue roasting until squash can be easily pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Top squash with fresh thyme and serve.

Notes

Kosher Salt - I use Morton’s Kosher Salt to test recipes. If using table salt, reduce by about half. If using Diamond Kosher Salt, increase by about 25%. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to salt, so be sure to taste and adjust as you go.
