    ❤️ Why this recipe works

    I always give this maple-mustard butternut squash dish a 10/10 for its crispy texture and subtly sweet and spicy flavours. It has warm earthy flavours from fresh rosemary, too! This recipe is one I make every year in the fall.

    Butternut Squash is easy to work with, and it has a sweet, rich nutty flavour and a deep orange colour. It makes a velvety soup, like this Butternut Squash Soup with Ginger and Orange, and it's easy to roast with a variety of flavours. Have an air fryer? Try this Roasted Butternut Squash with Feta and Sage.

    When you're looking to add nutritious vegetables into your diet, winter squash is the best deal you can find. It's inexpensive and it's rich in vitamins and minerals. Read more about the nutritional benefits of butternut squash in What's to Know about Butternut Squash?

    🛒 Ingredients

    Labeled ingredients Maple Dijon Roasted Butternut Squash

    This recipe uses maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, a little salt, and apple cider vinegar to make a sweet and spicy sauce for this Maple Dijon Roasted Butternut Squash.

    🔪 Instructions

    You'll find complete directions in the recipe card at the end of this post. Here's a quick overview of what you'll do! This is a very quick and easy recipe, perfect for any fall or winter meal.

    1. Peel the squash and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into cubes in uniform bite-sized pieces so they will cook at the same time.
    2. Whisk the oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and minced garlic together.
    3. Toss the cubes in this marinade.
    4. Heat a baking sheet for 5 minutes in the pre-heated oven before adding the squash cubes. Preheating the pan helps to sear the squash, giving it crispy edges.
    5. Arrange the squash on the baking sheet, spreading it apart so the cubes are not touching. Roast for about 20 minutes, turning once or twice partway through.
    6. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh rosemary.
