Steps:
- For the butternut squash fritters: Place the squash, apple, ginger, egg, breadcrumbs, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper into a large bowl and stir together to combine.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat the bottom with about 1/4 inch of oil. When the oil shimmers, scoop heaping tablespoons of the squash mixture and drop gently into the oil, pressing with the back of the spoon to slightly flatten. Fry in batches until brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a plate lined with lightly crumpled paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with more salt before serving. Makes about 2 dozen fritters.
- For the apple cider-glazed chicken thighs: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs on each side with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, then cook in batches on each side until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the onions and 2 sprigs of thyme to the pan. Season with salt, add a little water, and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet until the onions are golden and softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the apple cider, vinegar and the reserved liquid from squeezing out the squash and apple. Simmer until reduced, 5 minutes.
- Remove the thyme leaves from the remaining 2 sprigs of thyme, then finely chop the thyme, parsley, and tarragon. Set aside.
- Whisk the butter into the reduced sauce, then add the chicken thighs back to the pan to warm through for 2 or 3 minutes, coating with the glaze and sprinkling with the fresh herbs. Check that the thighs have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, then serve with the Butternut Squash Fritters.

GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH
Steps:
- 1. Put the oil and garlic in a large, deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. When the garlic begins to color, add the squash and stock and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and turn the heat down to low. Cook, stirring once or twice, until the squash is tender, about 15 minutes. 2. Uncover the pan and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally and stirring somewhat less often, until all the liquid is evaporated and the squash has begun to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn the heat back down to low and cook until the squash is as browned and crisp as you like. Taste and adjust the seasoning, garnish, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that are firm and have a deep orange color. Avoid squash that have soft spots or blemishes.
- Cut the squash evenly: This will help the squash cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the squash in half lengthwise, then scoop out the seeds and pulp.
- Roast the squash at a high temperature: This will help the squash caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Roast the squash at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly browned.
- Make the glaze: While the squash is roasting, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Brush the squash with the glaze: Remove the squash from the oven and brush it with the glaze. Return the squash to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
- Serve immediately: Glazed butternut squash is best served immediately. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Glazed butternut squash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a healthy and nutritious dish that is also easy to make. With its sweet and savory flavor, glazed butternut squash is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
