MAPLE-ROASTED SQUASH WITH SAGE AND LIME FOR TWO



Maple-Roasted Squash With Sage and Lime for Two image

Slathered with a mildly spicy maple glaze, chunks of winter squash are roasted until velvety soft and browned at the edges, then brightened with lime and fresh sage just before serving. Unless you're using a squash variety with a particularly thick rind, you don't need to peel the squash before roasting. The skins of butternut or delicata roast up wonderfully crisp, adding texture to each bite.

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons maple syrup
Large pinch of ground cayenne or chile powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Large pinch of coriander seeds
1 pound winter squash, such as dumpling, delicata or butternut, halved, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch thick (you don't have to peel it)
Fresh lime juice, for serving
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. If you like, line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or foil. (It's not necessary but will prove helpful when cleaning up.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the butternut squash properly: To ensure that the squash is cooked evenly, cut it into uniform-sized pieces and toss them with a little oil before roasting. Roast the squash at a high temperature (425°F) until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Make sure the sage butter is flavorful: Use fresh sage leaves and plenty of butter to make the sage butter. You can also add a little garlic or shallots for extra flavor.
  • Serve the maple butternut squash with sage butter immediately: This dish is best served fresh out of the oven, while the squash is still warm and the sage butter is melted.

Conclusion:

Maple butternut squash with sage butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The combination of sweet squash, savory sage, and nutty butter is simply irresistible. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash.
