    Tips for making butternut squash.

    If you have trouble removing the skin from your squash, try baking it first at a low temperature (300f) for about ten to 15 minutes. This will help loosen the skin.

    More tips for you

    1. Olive oil is used in this recipe as it helps the squash roast without burning. Feel free to use your favorite neutral cooking oil.
    2. Fresh sage is sued in this recipe. Alternatives that can be used with or instea of the sage include thyme or rosemary. Just make sure it’s fresh!
    3. When roasting the squash, use a metal spatula to flip the squash during the baking process. This will help the squash bake and brown evenly.

    Personalize your oven roasted squash.

    This is a basic recipe that tastes good as it.
    However, you can also personalize it.

    Try one of these ideas.

    • Add a bit of maple syrup or sugar for an added sweetness to this dish.
    • Cut the squash into 'French Fries' before baking.
    • Top the baked squash with crumbled goat cheese, fresh pesto, or hot honey before serving.

    2. Allow the squash to first cool before peeling the skin off.
    3. Remove the skin from the squash.
    4. Slice the meat of the squash into half moons or cubes.
