5 Ingredient Oven Roasted Garlic and Herb Butternut Squash with Pine Nuts

Hey there, Eazy Peazy readers! My name is Jessica from the food blog, Coffee & Crayons. Today I’m taking a little break from my site to share with you one of my favorite butternut squash recipes. It’s super easy, healthy and takes just 5 minutes to prepare. This 5 Ingredient Oven Roasted Garlic and Herb Butternut Squash dish makes a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving menu, or, if you’re like me and can’t wait that long to eat all the butternut squash, it’s simple enough to prepare any night of the week!

Why I Love Butternut Squash

Speaking of all the butternut squash here are some reasons why I can’t get enough of this quintessential Fall and Winter fruit:

  • They’re loaded with vitamin A, potassium, fiber and magnesium.
  • They can be steamed, sautéed, roasted, toasted, boiled…
  • Which means they are incredibly versatile. Delicious in sweet pies or savory stews, butternut squash wears many hats.
  • They’re easy to find! And, often times, easy to plant in your very own backyard (although don’t ask me about that last part yet, I’m still waiting on mine).

The only problem I can find with butternut squash is that I can’t stop eating it!

If you love this fantastic fruit (that is often confused as a vegetable) just as much as me, I can almost guarantee you’ll love these recipes, too-

  • Butternut Squash and Black Bean Tostadas (with a video!)
  • Apple Butternut Squash Soup

Now, to make THIS super easy and SUPER tasty 5 Ingredient Oven Roasted Garlic and Herb Butternut Squash you will need approximately 8 cups of pre-cubed butternut squash or one 2 1/2 pound squash. If you’re new to butternut squash and have no idea how to peel and chop one up, most markets sell pre-cubed squash which is super handy. If not, I have found that the easiest way to peel butternut squash is with a sturdy

like this one.  After the skin has been peeled, proceed with chopping into uniform size cubes.

Next, you will toss the butternut squash with olive oil, Italian herbs, and salt + pepper and roast for approximately 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a clean serving bowl, top with toasted pine nuts and fresh herbs, if desired.

You guys, that’s it. Really, seriously, that’s all there is to it!
