A+ Butternut & Acorn Squash Gratin image

Beautiful tasting, company-ready winter squash casserole dish that was served to me by my daughter at her Bunco party. She said it came from a handout at Raley's Deli Dept. All the women there raved about the recipe and it even upstaged the pumpkin raviolis she made. It would be quite impressive on a Thanksgiving or Christmas table or to take to a potluck. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash. Acorn squash, butternut squash, and parsnips are all good choices for this gratin. Look for squashes that are firm and heavy for their size, with no soft spots or blemishes.
  • Roast the squash and parsnips before assembling the gratin. This will help them to caramelize and develop a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the squash and parsnips. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart when you are assembling the gratin.
  • Layer the squash, parsnips, and sauce in a baking dish. Be sure to spread the sauce evenly over the vegetables.
  • Top the gratin with cheese. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but a sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will work well.
  • Bake the gratin until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Acorn, butternut squash, and parsnips gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for fall and winter meals. It is a great way to use up leftover squash and parsnips, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. So next time you are looking for a new side dish to try, give this gratin a try. You won't be disappointed!
