  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, drizzle butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss to coat. Spread evenly in a baking dish and bake until soft and beginning to brown, about 25-30 minutes.
  2. While squash cooks, prepare dressing by whisking ingredients together until combined. Set aside.
