butternut squash with vegetable peeler, cut off ends, and cut squash
into cubes about 1 inch square. Put squash in plastic bowl and toss
with olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tsp. spice mixture. Stir well to
get oil and spices evenly distributed on cut surfaces of the squash.
in a single layer. Roast about 40-50 minutes, turning every 15 minutes
or so. (The roasting time will be slightly longer or shorter, depending
on which oven temperature you use.) Squash is done when it is soft and
slightly browned on quite a few of the edges. Season with sea salt,
and serve hot.
This spice mix is also great on other roasted vegetables. Fine Cooking suggests carrots, cauliflower, parsnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and turnips.
