MAPLE ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

BUTTERNUT SQUASH
We all really liked this.  Didn't have real maple syrup - would be better with that, but was still good.

Ingredients
1 large butternut squash (about 2-3 pounds)
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup 
Few dashes each of ground cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice 



1. Chop off the stem and bottom of the squash.  Using a vegetable peeler, peel off remaining skin.


2. Cut the squash in half crosswise just above where it gets larger, or where the seeds live.


3. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds.


4. Dice the whole squash into 1/2 inch cubes.


5. Place squash into an 8×8-inch glass baking dish.  Sprinkle with olive oil and maple syrup.  Toss.


6. Add a few dashes each of ground cinnamon, ground ginger and allspice.  Toss.


7. Bake uncovered at 400° for 30-35 minutes.
