Caramelized Butternut Squash
Serving size: 10
Calories per serving: 179
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 medium butternut squash (4 to 5 pounds total)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut off and discard the ends of each butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. With clean hands, toss all the ingredients together and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. While roasting, turn the squash a few times with a spatula, to be sure it browns evenly. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.
Cook’s Note: This recipe is perfect for this time of year. With all of the ripe winter squash, why not make use of them during Thanksgiving and for the rest of the season. For the best tasting produce, always look up what fresh and in season and plan your menus around that.
