How to Make Low Calorie Butternut Squash Cubes
I like to use parchment paper to make this butternut squash side dish.
It means you won’t need as much olive oil, because the parchment paper stops the squash from sticking to the baking sheet. And it also makes the cleanup so much easier!
How to Make Healthy Butternut Squash Cubes:
- Preheat the oven to 400° and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the butternut squash cubes on the baking sheet and spray with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, or spice blend of your choosing.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and fork tender.
- Remove from oven, top with basil or parsley and serve hot.
