How to cook butternut squash?

To cook butternut squash, start by cutting it in half lengthwise and scooping out the seeds. Place the halves on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven at 400F for about 45-50 minutes, or until the squash is tender. You can also peel and cube the squash, then boil or steam it until soft. Enjoy as a side dish or in soups and salads.
