Step 1: Baking the Squash
|
|
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel the squash, cut in half and scoop out and discard the seeds. Dice the squash into roughly 1 inch cubes. Put all the squash into a bowl, add the olive oil, salt and pepper and toss thoroughly to coat. Pour squash onto a parchment lined baking tray and roast for 15-20 minutes. The squash is ready when a knife goes into the cubes easily. Serve as a side vegetable with main dishes like Roast Chicken, Braised Short Ribs or Lamb Tagine.

Notes
Butternut squash is good with just a little seasoning or you can dress it up by adding cilantro, brown sugar, herbs or even maple syrup.
Comments
Great vegetable dish - it was so tasty and buttery. Make sure to not over cook butternut though because then you loose that bright color in the cubes and I love that this dish.
To add some exotic taste, try putting a sprinkle of curry powder and maple syrup when mixing.
Is this possibly a typo in the recipe? The recipe alternatively calls for 1/2 tsp. table salt, which would be equal to about 1 tsp of Kosher salt, not 1 tbsp. Plus, 1 tsp of Kosher salt seemed just about right for my taste. Otherwise, the recipe was great. It was quick, easy, and delicious.
Yes, this should have been "or 1/2 tbsp. of table salt" - not tsp. Great catch.
Really enjoyed this easy vegetable, but oh so delicious. Added maple syrup after cooking, tossed and served. Very nice. I just saw the comment about the curry and the maple syrup. Will try that next time. Almost wanted to run to the store and buy another butternut squash for tonight. S
This is one of my favourites! I like to sometimes use hazelnut or walnut oil instead. It gives the squash a rich nutty flavour....yum!
