Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled, de-seeded, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • ¼ tsp Cayenne
  • 2 tbsp Organic honey slightly warmed
  • As needed avocado or other oil spray
  • ¾ tsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ cup Fat-free feta cheese, crumbled
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. As preparation, peel the squash with a heavy-duty peeler. Cut it in half and remove the seeds and stringy pulp, then dice it into 1-inch cubes.
  • Transfer the squash pieces to a large bowl. Spray them with avocado oil spray so they are coated, then sprinkle in the seasonings. Toss to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  • Add the warmed honey slowly and fold to coat the squash pieces with it evenly.
  • Transfer the squash to a greased sheet pan and spread it out. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir. Add more avocado spray if needed. Return to the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes longer or until the squash is fork-tender and the honey is starting to caramelize.
  • Serve warm with feta cheese sprinkled on top.
