Equipment

  • 1 Casserole

Ingredients
  

  • 1 item medium butternut squash
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (finely grated)
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasoning

  • 1 tsp Black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp Rock salt (to taste)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C.
  • Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon. Peel the skin off the squash with a vegetable peeler.
  • Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes or wedges, depending on your preference.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated ginger, orange juice, and olive oil.
  • Place the butternut squash cubes in a large bowl and pour the ginger-garlic-orange juice mixture over the squash. Toss the squash until it is evenly coated with the mixture.
  • Spread the squash out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized around the edges, turning the pieces halfway through the cooking time.
  • Once the squash is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
  • This dish is a perfect side for an autumn or winter meal and pairs well with roasted meats or as a standalone vegetarian option. Enjoy your baked butternut squash with ginger, garlic, and orange juice!
