How to Make Maple Squash

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray or 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  3. Cut squash into 1-inch chunks.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Add the squash chunks to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Spread the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Drizzle any remaining maple mixture from the bowl evenly over the squash.
  8. Roast for 25-30 minutes, uncovered, in the center of the preheated oven, or until tender and the edges are golden brown. Do not stir or flip the squash during roasting to achieve a rich glaze.
  9. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
