1. •Preheat oven to 400ºF. •In a small pot, melt 3 Tbsp coconut oil, and whisk in the cinnamon and salt. •Place butternut cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle melted oil mixture over the squash and mix well. •Place squash in the oven. Roast for 20 minutes, then rotate tray and mix squash. Continue roasting. •While squash is cooking, place pecans on a tray and toast in the oven ~ 5-10 minutes.
