How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Step 2

Arrange butternut squash in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes or until browned, stirring once halfway through cooking.
