Tips & Tricks (5)

Squash Sizing Secrets 🔪
Cut butternut squash into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting and consistent caramelization across all pieces.
Moisture Magic 💧
Pat the squash cubes completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to help achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
Cinnamon Layer Technique 🌀
Mix ground cinnamon with olive oil first to create a more even coating and prevent dry spice clumping on the squash.
Roasting Rack Revelation 🥘
Use a rimmed baking sheet with space between cubes to allow hot air circulation, which creates better caramelization and prevents soggy edges.
Sweet Spot Temperature 🌡️
Roast at 425°F for the perfect balance between exterior caramelization and interior tenderness, typically taking 25-30 minutes.
