Ingredients
  

1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). For easier cleanup, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Squash: In a large mixing bowl, combine the butternut squash wedges with the olive oil. Use a spatula or your hands to toss them gently, ensuring each wedge is well-coated with oil.

      Add Flavors: To the bowl, add the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, finely chopped rosemary, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly, tossing the wedges until they are evenly coated with the delicious maple glaze and aromatic spices.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the coated squash wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will allow the squash to roast and caramelize beautifully.

          Roast the Wedges: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The squash should become tender and develop a caramelized edge.

            Garnish for Texture: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, if you’d like an added crunch, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the warming wedges. Allow them to roast just until fragrant.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the wedges cool slightly. Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a satisfying snack that will impress everyone!
