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.)
  • 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.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups 1/2-inch cubes peeled kabocha squash (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 cups 1/2-inch cubes peeled butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 cups 1/4- to 1/3-inch cubes peeled parsnips (about 12 ounces)
5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup coarsely chopped Marcona almonds (about 3 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Butter 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Combine kabocha and butternut squash and parsnips in large bowl. Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in next 5 ingredients. Add to squash mixture and toss to coat. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Cover squash mixture with foil. Bake covered 40 minutes. Uncover; bake until all vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes longer. Sprinkle with almonds and bake 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash. For this recipe, butternut squash, acorn squash, or kabocha squash are all great choices. Look for squashes that are heavy for their size and have smooth, blemish-free skin.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise. This will make it easier to scoop out the seeds and pulp.
  • Scoop out the seeds and pulp. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp from the center of the squash halves. Be careful not to cut through the skin.
  • Brush the squash halves with olive oil. This will help the squash to brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Season the squash halves with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to taste.
  • Drizzle the squash halves with maple syrup. The maple syrup will add a sweet and sticky glaze to the squash.
  • Bake the squash halves for 45-60 minutes. Or until the squash is tender and caramelized.

Conclusion:

This winter squash baked with maple syrup is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It can be served with roasted chicken, pork, or beef. Or it can be enjoyed on its own as a healthy and satisfying snack. The maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness that complements the earthy flavor of the squash. And the roasting process caramelizes the squash, giving it a slightly crispy exterior and a tender, creamy interior. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
