- Don’t Thaw the Squash - to maintain the moisture in the squash, ensure the squash is frozen and doesn’t thaw before going into the oven. If the squash is thawed it can become soggy when roasting.
- Use High Heat - Roast squash at a high temperature to achieve good caramelization with a crispy exterior and soft, creamy interior.
- Don’t Crowd the Pan - Place the butternut squash on the baking sheet in an even layer without overlapping and leaving space between each piece of squash.
