Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.

- Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
