Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and dice the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the diced butternut squash, melted coconut oil, chipotle powder, and salt. Toss until the squash is evenly coated with the oil and spices.

  7. Remove the roasted squash from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Transfer the squash to a serving dish and drizzle with lime juice.
  9. Sprinkle the toasted pepitas and fresh cilantro over the top.
