Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop the seeds. Peel the squash then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and rub the olive oil over the squash to evenly coat. Season with salt and pepper then place cut side up on the tray. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until the squash begins to soften and get some color, about 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the glaze. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Brown the butter by allowing it to cook for an additional 2 minutes while swirling the pan occasionally. Add the herbs and briefly toast, about 30 seconds, then pour in the syrup, vinegar and chili flakes. Bring to a strong simmer and cook until reduced and thick enough to coat a spoon, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Remove the squash from the oven and allow to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, remove to a cutting board with the flat side down. Slice the squash, taking care not to slice all the way through. Place into a baking dish and pour half of the glaze over the squash, tucking the herbs between the slices.
- Bake for 10 minutes then pull out of the oven and baste with the pan juices. Brush more of the glaze on then continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the squash is cooked through. Brush on any remaining glaze, sprinkle with crunchy salt and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Place a rack in the upper third of the oven.
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin and the white flesh directly beneath the skin from the butternut squash until the deep orange flesh is exposed. Leave the stem intact if possible. Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and pulp.
- Place the squash cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet and pour in the water. Bake the squash for 20 minutes, until the flesh is softened but not fully cooked. This par-cooking will making the cutting much easier.
- Cool the squash until it can be safely handled with your bare hands. Place one squash half cut-side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut very thin slits, about ⅛-inch (3 MM) wide, about ¾ of the way through the squash, being careful not to cut all the way through. Repeat with the second half.
- Grease the baking sheet with olive oil and return the squash to the pan, cut-side down. Brush more olive oil all over the squash. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for another 35 minutes, until the squash is fork tender and golden brown on top.
- While the squash finishes baking, make the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the shallots, season with salt, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring, until they begin to caramelize.
- Add the mustard, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar and whisk to combine. Simmer for 3 minutes, until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat.
- Drizzle the warm sauce over the butternut squash, making sure to get the sauce in between the slits as best you can. Top with the hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds, and chives. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- To easily cut the butternut squash, place it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until it is slightly softened. This will make it easier to cut through the squash without it slipping.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the butternut squash. A dull knife will make it more difficult to cut through the squash and may cause it to slip.
- Be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom of the butternut squash. You want the slices to be connected at the bottom so that the squash holds its shape when it is roasted.
- Brush the butternut squash slices with melted butter or olive oil and season with salt and pepper before roasting. This will help the squash to brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Roast the butternut squash at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30-40 minutes, or until it is tender and browned. You can also roast the butternut squash at a lower temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for a longer period of time (45-60 minutes).
- Serve the butternut squash hot or at room temperature. You can top it with butter, honey, maple syrup, or yogurt.
