Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by peeling the butternut squash, then slice it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Cube the squash into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon until glossy and well combined.
  3. Add the cubed butternut squash to the bowl with the glaze, and gently toss until evenly coated.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the glazed squash in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  5. For an extra crispy edge, switch the oven to broil and let the squash broil for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, watching to prevent burning.
