How to Make New England Butternut Squash

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, seed, and cube the butternut squash. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. Spread the butternut squash in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the squash is roasting, prepare the maple glaze by combining maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan.
  6. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  7. Once the squash is cooked, pour the maple glaze over it and toss gently to coat.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
