If roasting ahead or preserving leftovers, follow these steps:

  • To Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Alternatively, refrigerate raw butternut squash cubes a day or two before roasting.
  • Freezing: Freeze cubes on the baking sheet, transfer to a bag or container once solid, and store for up to 12 months.
  • To Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350ºF, on the stovetop, or in the microwave until heated through.

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F with the rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick sheet.
  • Peel the squash with a potato peeler, cut in half, scoop out the seeds, and chop into 1-inch chunks.
  • Transfer to the baking sheet, drizzle with oil, salt, and pepper, and toss to combine.
  • Spread evenly and bake until fork-tender and golden brown, about 35-40 minutes, turning after 20 minutes.
