How to Make Coriander-Kissed Butternut Squash Chunks

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F. This step ensures that the oven is hot and ready by the time you finish preparing the squash, allowing for even cooking right from the start.

2. Prepare Squash

While the oven is heating up, prepare your butternut squash by peeling, seeding, and cutting it into 3/4-inch chunks. Transfer these chunks to a rimmed baking sheet.

3. Season Squash

Drizzle the squash chunks with the olive oil, then sprinkle the smashed coriander seeds and salt over the top. Toss everything together right on the baking sheet, making sure each piece of squash is well-coated in the oil and spices.

4. Spread Squash

Spread the coated squash chunks out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This step is crucial as it prevents the pieces from steaming and becoming mushy; instead, they will roast beautifully and develop a slight caramelization.

5. Roast Squash

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and let the squash roast for about 35 minutes. Toss the pieces occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.

6. Check Doneness

The butternut squash is ready when it is tender and has a slightly caramelized exterior. This caramelization not only adds a lovely sweetness but also enhances the natural flavors of the squash, making it a delicious side dish that's sure to be a hit.
