- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 10 fresh sage leaves
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Squash: In a bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the Squash: Roast the squash for 25-30 minutes until fork-tender and caramelized at the edges.
