Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and cube the butternut squash, carefully removing the seeds. Aim for uniform cubes, about 1-inch in size.
  3. Toss together the squash pieces in a large bowl with olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well coated.
  4. Spread out the seasoned squash on the lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
  6. Cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to settle.
