This sweet and savory maple-roasted butternut squash is the perfect side dish for any entree!
Ingredients :
1 butternut squash 2-3lbs
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon butter melted, or olive oil
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger

Directions :
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
Slice the squash in half lengthwise*. Use a large spoon to remove seeds and pulp in the center.
In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, butter, cinnamon, and ginger. Brush over the cut side of the squash and season with salt and pepper to taste.
