Main Ingredients

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the butternut squash and chop it into bite-sized cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the squash, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Mix well to coat every piece.
  4. Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Cooking

  2. Remove from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for the best flavor. You can also swap feta for goat cheese for a tangy twist.
