Roasted Butternut Squash

• Start with 1 butternut squash
• Peel and cut into 1-inch cubes
• Place squash cubes in a large roasting pan
• Coat with a little olive oil (about 1 Tbs.), and 1 tsp. salt
• Roast uncovered in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour, or until the squash pieces are tender and most of the liquid has cooked off
• Stir the squash cubes with a large spatula. Then increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees and continue roasting for another 20 - 30 minutes, stirring once after 15 minutes until the edges of some of the squash pieces are a little browned

 No need to add sugar, as the squash is naturally sweet, and roasting intensifies the sweetness!
