Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt
1 kabocha squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
  • Whisk together the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, chili powder, cayenne and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl to combine.
  • Cut the squash in half and trim and discard both ends. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and discard. Place the squash cut-side down and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
  • Toss the squash with the maple syrup mixture to coat evenly. Arrange the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, reserving the excess maple syrup mixture. Roast, flipping the squash and rotating the baking sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 24 to 26 minutes. While still hot, loosen the squash with a metal spatula from the baking sheets and flip to avoid sticking. Brush the squash with the reserved maple syrup mixture and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Oil, for oiling grill grates
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 acorn squashes (about 2 pounds each)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons toasted pepitas (roasted hulled pumpkin seeds)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill for cooking over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan and turn off the heat. Remove 1/4 cup of the melted butter and reserve. Whisk the maple syrup, cider vinegar, dry mustard, crushed red pepper, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper into the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 4 minutes to reduce slightly. Remove the glaze from the heat and let cool. Set aside 1/3 cup of the glaze for drizzling at the end.
  • Carefully halve the squashes from the stem to the bottom. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard. Place the squash halves flat-side down and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch scalloped half-moons. Place the slices in a very large bowl.
  • Mix together the chili powder, coriander, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the squash slices. Drizzle the reserved 1/4 cup of melted butter over the squash. Toss with your hands to make sure the slices are evenly coated.
  • Place the squash slices on the grill and cover. Cook until dark grill marks appear, about 10 minutes. Flip the squash slices; cover and cook until the squash is just tender enough to be pierced easily with a paring knife, 7 to 8 minutes more.
  • Brush the squash slices with the glaze and flip. Cook 1 minute, brush with glaze, flip and cook on the other side for another minute. Remove from the grill and arrange on a large platter. Drizzle with the reserved glaze. Sprinkle with the pepitas. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash or acorn squash are good choices. Look for squash that is firm and has a deep color.
  • Roast the squash properly: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges. Make sure to toss the squash with oil and season it with salt and pepper before roasting.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will save you time on the day you are serving the squash.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup: The maple syrup is the star of the glaze, so make sure to use a good quality syrup. Look for a syrup that is dark and amber in color.
  • Don't overcook the squash: The squash should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to it. Overcooked squash will be mushy and bland.

Conclusion:

This maple chipotle glazed squash is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for fall. The squash is roasted until tender and caramelized, then glazed with a sweet and spicy maple chipotle sauce. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. Serve this squash with your favorite fall dishes, such as roasted chicken or pork, or mashed potatoes.
