Maple Cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash

Found this little gem online and it was so good I simply had to share.  I can not take any credit for the original recipe as the only modification I did was used Avocado Oil instead of EVOO.  This will definitely become a family favorite during the holidays.

Maple Cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash

Ingredients

• 1 large butternut squash (about 3 lbs), peeled, seeded and cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (or EVOO)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
3. Place butternut squash cubes in a bowl. Drizzle evenly with oil then sprinkle with ground cinnamon, salt, pepper and maple syrup. Toss all the ingredients together, using your hands, ensuring all the cubes are coated.
4. Spread the seasoned butternut squash cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Place in the oven and roast for 35 - 40 minutes (rotating pan if necessary half-way) until squash is tender. Remove from oven and serve immediately or allow to cool.
