Don't buy pre-cut pumpkin at the grocery store. You can easily cut and roast it yourself, and it's much cheaper, not to mention fresher. This recipe will give you perfectly spiced, tender, and golden pieces of this naturally sweet vegetable. All you need is a preheated oven, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 1 large butternut squash (about 1.3 kg)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
  2. Trim the pumpkin at both ends and peel the skin with a vegetable peeler. Using a large, sharp knife, cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Slice the pumpkin halves crosswise into 2-cm-thick half-moons, then cut into 2-cm-thick cubes. You should have about 7 cups of pumpkin cubes.

  3. Place the squash in a large bowl and add olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until lightly browned and tender, stirring once with a metal spatula.
