CURRIED BAKED BUTTERCUP SQUASH

Easy winter side dish. I enjoy the pleasant slightly sweet true squash taste of buttercup, but any other winter squash can be substituted. The curry can be omitted and replace with your favorite spices, or brown sugar. Other winter squash can be substituted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for a firm, heavy squash with a deep orange color. Avoid any squash with soft spots or blemishes.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise: This will make it easier to scoop out the seeds and pulp.
  • Scrape out the seeds and pulp: Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and pulp from the squash. Be careful not to cut into the flesh of the squash.
  • Brush the squash with oil: This will help the curry paste and breadcrumbs adhere to the squash.
  • Roast the squash: Roast the squash until it is tender and starting to brown. This should take about 30-40 minutes.
  • Make the curry paste: While the squash is roasting, make the curry paste. This can be done in a food processor or blender. Just add all of the ingredients to the food processor or blender and pulse until a smooth paste forms.
  • Spread the curry paste on the squash: Once the squash is roasted, spread the curry paste on top. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the squash.
  • Top with breadcrumbs: Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the curry paste. This will give the squash a nice crunchy topping.
  • Bake the squash: Bake the squash until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the curry paste is bubbly. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the squash immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Curried baked buttercup squash is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The squash is roasted until tender and then topped with a flavorful curry paste and crunchy breadcrumbs. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
