3. Roast squash: arrange sliced squash on a sheet pan, drizzle with avocado oil and use hands to coat evenly on both sides. Then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it's tender when tested with a fork. Flip halfway through baking time for an even roast.
