Side Dish: Roasted Butternut Squash

What you will need:
1 large butternut squash (Make sure you check the weight before buying. I didn't check and ended up with a $7 squash).
4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons diced butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
salt and pepper

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
2. Cut off the top and bottom of the squash and scoop out seeds
3. Cut the flesh into 1 inch cubes
4. Put the squash on a large rimmed baking sheet, sprinkle with minced garlic and diced butter, and drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup. Toss all ingredients together and season with salt and pepper
5. Roast for 20 minutes. Take out, turn squash over with spatula, and roast for 20 minutes longer
