Ingredients

7 pounds winter squash, such as butternut-peeled, halved, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

6 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons chopped sage

2 tablespoons chopped thyme

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl, toss the squash cubes with the olive oil, garlic, sage and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and toss again. Spread the squash in 2 large rectangular baking dishes about 1 1/2 inches deep. Bake in the upper third of the oven for about 1 1/2 hours, until the squash is tender and browned around the edges. Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
