Maple Roasted Butternut Squash
| 50 minutes 4-6
Maple roasted squash will become one of your signature recipes and a family favorite. Simple enough for a week night supper, and special enough to be included as a holiday side. Recipe calls for butternut squash, but other varieties such as Acorn, Delicata and Kabocha work as well.
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs. butternut squash, peeled & chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup dried herbs
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup Crown Maple Amber Color maple syrup
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper, foil, or lightly oil the pan.
- Wash and dry squash. If skin is tough remove from flesh with a vegetable peeler. Remove seeds and loose pieces from seed cavity and cut squash into pieces.
- Toss squash with olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper. We love dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
- Spread squash in a single layer on the baking pan.
- Roast in oven for 25-30 minutes until squash is tender. Turn throughout roasting to get even browning.
- Remove from ove and brush squash with maple syrup. Return to oven and roast another 15 minutes until squash is tender and you achieve your preferred level of caramelization.
- Remove from oven and serve warm, or make ahead and serve at room temperature.
