Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Butternut squash (2 lbs.), (peeled, halved, and seeded)
1/4 tsp Kosher salt, ((or fine sea salt))
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp finely grated lime zest
1 garlic clove, (minced)
Crushed red pepper flakes, (a pinch)
1/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts, ((or walnuts or pecans) )
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, (minced)
2 scallions (whites and green parts), (thinly sliced )

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Oil a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the squash slices on it in a single layer. (If it doesn't all fit, oil another sheet and use that as well.) Brush the top of the squash slices with more extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle them with the salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Roast in the heated oven until the squash is golden brown on the top, 20 minutes. Then flip the slices over and roast until they are very tender, about 10 minutes longer. (I ended up putting mine under the broiler for a couple more minutes for a little more color).
  • Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, zest, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Let the ingredients sit for a minute, then whisk in the anchovies and 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil until emulsified. Taste and add more salt and/or lime juice as needed.
  • Serve the squash covered with the vinaigrette and sprinkled with the hazelnuts and scallions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid any squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the squash at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the squash and bring out its natural sweetness. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the squash, make sure to spread it out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the squash from roasting evenly.
  • Season the squash generously: Herbes de Provence is a classic French herb blend that pairs perfectly with butternut squash. Be sure to season the squash generously with the herbs before roasting.

Conclusion:

Roasted butternut squash with herbes de Provence is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy the flavors of fall and is a healthy and nutritious addition to your diet. With its sweet and savory flavor, roasted butternut squash is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
