Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial as it ensures even roasting.
- Take your medium-sized Autumn Frost squash and carefully cut it in half. Use a sturdy knife to remove the seeds and scoop out the flesh.
- Next, chop the squash into bite-sized cubes. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed squash with olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh herbs. Make sure every piece is well-coated!
- Transfer the seasoned squash onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the cubes out evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- After 25 minutes, check the squash for tenderness. If they are fork-tender and golden brown, they are ready to come out.
- Once roasted, remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve it warm as a side dish or incorporate it into salads or grain bowls.
