Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons zero-calorie maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or any zero-calorie sugar substitute
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 100 grams butternut squash peeled and diced into small cubes

Method
 

  1. Begin by preparing the butternut squash—either peel and dice it yourself or use pre-cut cubes for convenience. Arrange the squash evenly across a baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are laid out in a single, uncrowded layer for even roasting.
  2. Lightly mist the squash with cooking spray, coating the surfaces to help the seasonings adhere and encourage browning. Sprinkle ground cinnamon and your chosen zero-calorie sweetener over the squash, then drizzle generously with the maple-flavored syrup.
  3. Transfer the tray to a preheated oven set at 425°F (220°C). Roast for approximately 30 minutes, checking around the 20-minute mark, especially if your oven tends to cook quickly. The squash is ready once the edges begin to turn golden and develop a lightly caramelized crispness. Serve warm for a comforting, naturally sweetened side dish.
