Ingredients:

Serving

1 (3-lb) butternut squash, peeled and cubed (1/2 inch; about 6 cups)
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1/2 cup green (hulled) pumpkin seeds ( pepitas; not toasted)
1/2 cup packed cilantro sprigs
1 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in middle.
Toss butternut squash with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then arrange in 1 layer in a 17- by 12- by 1-inch baking pan and roast, turning occasionally, until golden brown on edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast pumpkin seeds in 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until seeds are puffed and beginning to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and cool.
Pulse cooled seeds in a food processor with cilantro, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and remaining tablespoon oil to a coarse paste (not finely ground).
Toss squash with pesto and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
