Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the butternut squash into even 1-inch cubes, toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper, then spread on the baking sheet.
  3. Wrap garlic cloves in aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20-25 minutes until squash is fork-tender and garlic is soft.
