Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized.

  9. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Ensure the squash cubes are uniform for even cooking, and avoid overcrowding the baking tray.
