Steps:
- Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Halve squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds with a large spoon. Using a peeler, remove skin and white flesh below (you should reach the deep orange flesh). Rub all over with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast in a baking dish just large enough to hold halves side by side until beginning to soften (a paring knife should easily slip in only about 1/4"), 15-18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring chile, maple syrup, butter, and vinegar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high, stirring occasionally and removing chile as soon as desired heat level is reached (set aside for serving), until just thick enough to coat spoon, 6-8 minutes. Reduce heat to very low and keep glaze warm.
- Transfer squash to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Using a sharp knife, score rounded sides of squash halves crosswise, going as deep as possible but without cutting all the way through. Return squash to baking dish, scored sides up, and tuck bay leaves between a few of the slices; season with salt and pepper.
- Roast squash, basting with glaze every 10 minutes or so and using pastry brush to lift off any glaze in dish that is browning too much, until tender and glaze forms a rich brown coating, 45-60 minutes. Serve topped with reserved chiles.
- Do Ahead
- Squash can be roasted 4 hours ahead. Let cool until just warm; cover and store at room temperature. Reheat before serving.

SWEET AND SAVORY HASSELBACK BUTTERNUT SQUASH
The glaze creates a smoky caramelized topping, and the cranberries and pistachios add tartness and crunch. My 10-year-old walked in as I pulled this from the oven for the first time and announced, 'that's beautiful!' It's just as amazing in flavor, and it makes a gorgeous, elegant side.

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.
Tips:
- Choose a medium-sized butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. - Use a sharp knife to score the squash; this will help it cook evenly. - Don't cut all the way through the squash; you want the slices to stay attached at the bottom. - Brush the squash with melted butter or olive oil and season with salt and pepper. - Place the squash in a baking dish and add water or broth to the bottom of the dish. - Bake the squash at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until it is tender. - Serve the squash immediately, topped with your favorite toppings.Conclusion:
Hasselback butternut squash is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and nutty flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to prepare butternut squash, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
