Ingredients: 1 medium-sized butternut squash, peeled and cubed; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon sea salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 tablespoon maple syrup; 1/4 cup chopped pecans; 1/4 cup dried cranberries; Fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the squash from the oven and drizzle with maple syrup, tossing gently to coat.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans and dried cranberries over the top of the roasted squash.
Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the pecans to toast slightly.
Once done, remove from the oven and transfer the squash mixture to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve hot as a delightful side dish that will impress your guests with its blend of sweet, savory, and nutty flavors.
