Caramelized Butternut Squash
From Lexi's Clean Kitchen [1]
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons coconut oil, plus more for the pan
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Coarse sea salt, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a rimmed baking sheet.
- Peel the squash and slice it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and cut into 1-inch cubes (you should have about 6 cups).
- In a large bowl, combine the melted oil, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Pour the melted oil mixture over the squash and toss to coat.
- Place the squash on the greased baking sheet and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes or so to avoid burning, until caramelized and fork-tender.
- Garnish with additional cinnamon and coarse sea salt. Serve immediately.
