Instructions
Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel and cube the butternut squash into roughly 1 inch pieces and spread them out on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Make the Glaze
In a small bowl whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt until well combined. Pour the glaze over the squash cubes and toss everything thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
Roast the Squash
Spread the coated squash into a single layer making sure the pieces are not touching each other. Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through at the 17 minute mark, until the edges are caramelized and golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy
Remove the squash from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before transferring to a serving dish. Drizzle with any remaining glaze from the pan and serve warm as a side dish or over grain bowls.
