Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. This step ensures your butternut squash is ready for roasting.
- Spread the seasoned butternut squash in a single layer on a baking sheet. For the crispiest honey roasted butternut, avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the butternut squash is tender and caramelized. Flip halfway through for even cooking of your honey baked butternut squash.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the dried cranberries, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pumpkin seeds over the crispy honey roasted butternut squash.
- Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just to warm the additions through.
- Serve your delicious crispy honey roasted butternut squash immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy roasted butternut squash, ensure the squash is dry before tossing with oil and honey.
- If you don’t have feta, goat cheese is a good substitute.
- Adjust honey amount to your sweetness preference for your honey glazed butternut squash.
- For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese or use a vegan feta alternative and ensure your honey is plant-based if necessary. This will make your dish a vegan honey roasted butternut squash.
