Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the butternut squash cubes on a large rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat, then spread in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the cubes are tender and caramelized at the edges.
2
While the squash roasts, pour the vegetable broth into a medium saucepan and warm over low heat until steaming; keep it at a bare simmer for the duration of the risotto.
