Ingredients for Chai Creamed Honey Butternut Squash

- 3 tablespoons of 1992 Honey Co Chai Creamed Honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Toss the Squash: In a large bowl, combine the cubed butternut squash, olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss until the squash is evenly coated with the spices and oil.
