Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that are firm and heavy for their size, with smooth, unblemished skin.
- Roast the squash until tender: Roasting the squash until it is tender helps to bring out its natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use a good quality maple syrup: The quality of the maple syrup you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Look for a dark, amber-colored syrup with a rich, robust flavor.
- Don't overcook the squash: Overcooking the squash will make it mushy and bland. Roast it just until it is tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
- Serve the squash warm: Butternut squash with maple syrup is best served warm, so that the flavors can really shine.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash with maple syrup is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for fall. The squash is roasted until tender and then drizzled with a sweet and flavorful maple syrup glaze. This dish is a great way to enjoy the natural sweetness of butternut squash and is a perfect side dish for any meal.
