Cooking Tips
  • If your squash pieces are cut on the larger side, you have to increase your cook time by a few minutes. Smaller pieces will cook faster. 
  • Try to cut your butternut squash pieces to about the same size, so they all finish cooking at the same time.
  • Try to leave space between each piece, so they can roast properly. If your squash pieces are piled up on top of each other they will steam instead of roast.
  • You can prep the squash the day before and refrigerate the pieces in an airtight container. When you’re ready to cook, just toss in the oil and seasoning and roast.
