This simple side dish takes nearly an hour to bake, but only 5 minutes to prepare. The same recipe also works for acorn squash. Roasted squash goes great with Grouse MacNuggets.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 2-pound butternut squashes
- Salt
- 4 T. butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (or brown sugar)
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oven to 400F. and halve each squash lengthwise, removing the seeds with a spoon. Place squash on baking sheet cut side down, and add 1/4 c. water. Bake until softened about 50 min., turning in the last 10 minutes to add the salt, butter and maple syrup dotted over the top.
For a smoother presentation, scrape the meat of the squash from the rind and put in a food processor. Scoop gently with a wet tablespoon into egg shapes and serve on the plate sprinkled with freshly grated nutmeg and a drizzle of basalmic vinegar.
