Preparation

  4. Lay the seasoned squash on a baking sheet in a single layer, allowing space for roasting.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes.

  3. Once roasted, remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the warm squash and cranberries.

For substitutions, use feta or a dairy-free alternative instead of goat cheese. Ensure the oven is preheated for best results, and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
