All you need is 10 minutes, and this easy side is in the oven. We combined sweet maple syrup with spicy chili sauce to make one of the most addictive side dishes we’ve had in a while!
Start by peeling, then cutting a butternut squash into 1-inch cubes. To save some time, a friend suggested not peeling the squash before roasting – she says that the roasting time is enough to make the skin tender and it actually adds great texture. Your preference!
Add a few tablespoons of olive oil, maple syrup and hot chili sauce, such as sriracha, to the squash. Toss everything together and spread the squash into one even layer on a baking sheet.
Now, you're ready to roast! Serve the squash warm when it's done. If you want to put it over the top, add some crumbled feta cheese and a few basil leaves.
