1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the racks on the top third of the oven.
Peel the butternut squash and dice into 1/2 inch cubes. Dry them well with paper towel (will help them caramelize better) and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, some kosher salt and scatter onto a rimmed aluminum baking sheet (do not use Parchment or it won’t brown.)
Bake in preheated oven. It will take around 40-45 minutes (may take longer if you chopped it into larger chunks.) It should be very tender when tested with a fork, golden brown and caramelized on the outside. After 30 minutes of cooking, flip each squash chunk to caramelize the other side. Remove from the oven when ready.
