1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare the Squash
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. You can peel the squash if you prefer, but it’s not necessary.
3
Chop Garlic and Sage
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh sage leaves finely.

4
Season the Squash
Drizzle the olive oil over the cut sides of the butternut squash. Sprinkle the minced garlic, chopped sage, salt, and black pepper evenly over the squash.
5
Roast the Squash
Place the butternut squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
6
Serve
Once roasted, remove the squash from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. You can serve it as is, or scoop the flesh out and mash it for a creamy texture.
