Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1 onion (thinly sliced)
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  • Pre heat the oven to 425f / 220c.
  • Peel the butternut squash, cut in in half and remove the seeds.
  • Cut the squash into cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the salt, pepper, leaves from 5 thyme sprigs, oil and sliced onion. Toss to combine.
  • Spread evenly on a greased baking sheet and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the squash from the oven and pour over the maple syrup and place the remaining thyme sprigs on top.
  • Return to the oven for 10 minutes and serve.

Notes

  • Try to cut the squash as evenly as you can so that everything cooks at the same time in the oven.
  • Ensure the the squash cubes are coated all over with the oil so that they crisp all over.
  • Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your squash.
