BROWN-SUGAR-GLAZED WINTER SQUASH



Brown-Sugar-Glazed Winter Squash image

Based on a recipe from Cook's Country magazine, October/November 2005. The intro to the recipe advises, "Don't mix the brown sugar and butter ahead of time; it will crystallize and separate. Butternut squash can be stringy when undercooked, so if you're not sure, err on the side of overcooking." I've included instructions for cooking small winter squash, such as acorn, delicata, and sweet dumpling since they cook more quickly and require less glaze.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h15m

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs butternut squash
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Peel, seed and slice the squash. Place in a pot with tight fitting cover and steam until squash is nearly tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain well.
  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Arrange squash in one or two layers in greased shallow baking dish.
  • Mix sugar, spices and salt, and sprinkle over the squash.
  • Drizzle with melted butter. Bake until squash is tender and somewhat glazed, 15-20 minutes.
  • For deeper glaze, broil a few minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squashes that have soft spots or blemishes.
  • Prepare the squash properly: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Then, cut the squash into 1-inch thick slices.
  • Roast the squash: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Toss the squash slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly browned.
  • Make the brown sugar glaze: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Glaze the squash: Brush the roasted squash slices with the brown sugar glaze. Return the squash to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the glaze is set.
  • Serve the squash: Serve the glazed butternut squash immediately. It can be served as a side dish, main course, or snack.
