Southwestern Roasted Butternut Squash

By flour_arrangements

Keep them in the oven a little longer if you want something resembling sweet potato fries!

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
• 1 to 1 1/4 tsp coarse sea salt
• 1/2 tsp ceylon cinnamon
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 3/4 tsp cumin
• few sprinkles of black pepper
• 2 tsp dried onion flakes
• 1 tsp dried garlic (or one finely chopped garlic clove)
• 4-5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small/medium butternut squash

Preparation

Step 1

Slice butternut into strips (or small cubes no greater than 1/2 an inch wide)

Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with all the spices/seasonings/salt. Use your hands to massage seasoning evenly over the butternut strips.

Preheat oven to 400.

Bake on a cookie sheet, on the middle rack for about 50 minutes, or until they're slightly browned and tender enough to pierce with a fork.

Allow to cool before eating.
