Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it’s heating up, I like to prepare the squash. Carefully cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Once that’s done, I slice them into half-moon shapes, about one-inch thick, so they cook evenly. It’s always a delight to see the vibrant orange color; it makes my kitchen feel inviting!
