Ingredients

3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided, plus more for foil
3 butternut squash (about 2 pounds each)
Kosher salt and pepper
8 small shallots, quartered
12 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for serving
3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 400°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil; oil foil.
2. Step 2Cut butternut squash lengthwise in half and scoop out and discard seeds. Working on prepared baking sheet, coat squash with 2 tablespoons oil and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Turn squash cut sides down and roast in lower half of oven until flesh is beginning to turn golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
3. Step 3Meanwhile, toss shallots and thyme with remaining tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Turn squash, scatter shallots and thyme on top, then drizzle with maple syrup. Roast until skin is golden brown and crisp, 40 to 50 minutes more. Serve with additional thyme if desired.
