Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will ensure that the
butternut squash caramelizes beautifully.
2 In a large bowl, combine the butternut squash cubes, olive oil, honey, salt, and
black pepper. Toss until the squash is evenly coated in the mixture. The honey
will add a touch of sweetness and help with caramelization.
3 Spread the coated butternut squash cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
This will allow them to roast evenly and develop a golden crust.
4 Place the fresh thyme sprigs on top of the squash cubes. The thyme will infuse
the dish with its aromatic flavor as it roasts.
5 Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the
cubes are tender and caramelized. Be sure to give them a gentle toss halfway
through to ensure even browning.
6 Once the butternut squash is roasted to perfection, remove it from the oven and
discard the thyme sprigs. If desired, you can add any optional ingredients at
this point, such as maple syrup, cayenne pepper, crumbled feta cheese, or
pomegranate seeds. These additions will elevate the flavors and add a unique
twist to the dish.
7 Transfer the honey roasted butternut squash to a serving dish and garnish with a
few fresh thyme leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
8 Serve the dish warm as a side dish or as a delicious addition to salads, grain
bowls, or roasted vegetable platters. The versatility of this recipe allows you
to get creative with how you incorporate it into your meals.
