Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb butternut squash 1 large , peeled and cubed
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil * see note
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400º F
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Toss the peeled and cubed butternut squash in olive oil, salt, garlic, and arrange it in a single layer on parchment paper-lined sheet pan.
  • Sprinkle fresh thyme over the butternut squash pieces.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, turn squash pieces after 20 minutes and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
  • Bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until it's caramelized.
  • Remove from the oven, serve hot.

Notes

  1. You can peel the butternut squash while it is whole then remove the seeds and chop it, or cut it in half, scoop out the seeds then remove the peel and chop it up.
  2. If you can't find butternut squash, you can use any winter squash. 
  3. You can make this ahead by peeling and chopping the butternut squash up to 2 days before baking.
  4. The roasted butternut squash will keep up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
You can also make it in an air fryer! 
  1. Follow the above directions.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400º F for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the seasoned butternut squash and spread it out on the bottom of the air fryer. 
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, stirring once so both sides cook.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
