MAPLE ROASTED KABOCHA SQUASH WITH PEPITAS AND COTIJA



Maple Roasted Kabocha Squash with Pepitas and Cotija image

I find kabocha to be sweeter and less fibrous than other squash. It's the hero vegetable you need in your repertoire. This recipe for the squash is so flavorful I like it as a snack, but it's also a fantastic side dish to round out a great meal. You can substitute other squash for the kabocha in this recipe if you like.

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 kabocha squash
2 tablespoons melted salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup roasted pepitas
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash the whole squash under running water and pat dry. Cut the squash in half by inserting the tip of a chef's knife in the center of the squash where the stem connects. Push the tip in until it has cut all the way through the skin and flesh, then press down firmly on the handle, bringing the heel of the blade all the way to the cutting board. Turn the squash 180 degrees and repeat on the other side, splitting the squash. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon.
  • Slice the squash into 1/2-inch-thick wedges and place in a large bowl. Pour the butter and oil over the squash, then season generously with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Spread the squash out on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the edges are brown and the squash is tender in the middle, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a platter, drizzle with the syrup and sprinkle with the pepitas and Cotija. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

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.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

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.)
  • In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine maple syrup and cayenne in a small pot. Bring to a simmer and let cook until it reduces by a third, 1 to 3 minutes. Add butter and let it melt. Turn off heat and mix in salt, pepper and coriander.
  • Spread the squash out on the pan and spoon maple mixture over the pieces, turning them to coat. Roast until the pieces begin to soften, 15 minutes. Turn the squash pieces over and roast until glazed and tender, 10 to 20 minutes more. Drizzle lime juice and scatter sage leaves over the top for serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash or acorn squash work best. Look for squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast the squash at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the squash and give it a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave some space between the squash pieces so that they can roast evenly.
  • Flip the squash halfway through roasting: This will help to ensure that the squash roasts evenly on all sides.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup: The maple syrup is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality syrup that has a rich flavor.
  • Add the chipotle powder to taste: The amount of chipotle powder you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve the squash warm: This dish is best served warm, so roast the squash just before you're ready to eat it.

Conclusion:

This maple chipotle roasted squash is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for fall. The squash is roasted until it is caramelized and slightly crispy, and the maple syrup and chipotle powder give it a sweet and smoky flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
