ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH PECAN GINGER GLAZE



Roasted Butternut Squash With Pecan Ginger Glaze image

This is a great holiday side dish. A real crowd pleaser. It's a way of providing that little bit of rich nut and sweet squash flavor that goes so well with a turkey, ham or whole roasted fish. The ginger offers a little "zing" that your menu just might be looking for without straying too far from that classic squash side dish we love on the Thanksgiving table. I made this last year instead of classic sweet potato with marshmallow and there was barely any leftover! Always a good sign....

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Roast the squash until tender: The squash should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork. If it's not, continue roasting for a few more minutes.
  • Make the glaze while the squash is roasting: This will save you time and ensure that the glaze is ready when the squash is done.
  • Use a variety of nuts: Feel free to use any type of nuts you like in the glaze. Pecans, walnuts, and almonds are all good choices.
  • Serve the squash warm: Roasted butternut squash is best served warm, so try to serve it as soon as it's done cooking.

Roasted butternut squash with pecan-ginger glaze is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for fall and winter meals. The squash is roasted until tender and then glazed with a sweet and savory glaze made with pecans, ginger, and maple syrup.
