MAPLE-GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWEET POTATOES



Maple-Glazed Butternut Squash and Sweet Potatoes image

You can dress up this side as a whole meal by piling these sweet, warmly spiced vegetables into a grain bowl, putting them over quinoa, couscous or white rice, and adding a lean protein - or even another wintry vegetable like brussels sprouts. You could also throw an egg on top, finishing it with cracked black pepper. Just don't be tempted to put everything on one sheet pan. Using two allows for more air flow, which creates those crispy edges, a contrast to the soft middles.

Provided by Millie Peartree

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes, or 4 cups precut butternut squash (about 1 ½ to 2 pounds)
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (5 cups)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Zest of 1 orange

Steps:

  • Set 2 oven racks in the middle and bottom of the oven, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 rimmed half-sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and maple syrup, making sure they're all evenly coated. Sprinkle with the salt, cinnamon, pepper and orange zest, and, using your hands, toss the vegetables to coat them evenly in the oil and spices.
  • Transfer to the baking sheets. Roast, switching the baking sheets on their racks and stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking, until the largest piece of squash is tender all the way through, about 30 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and turn on the broiler.
  • Take turns placing each baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize the vegetables. Serve hot, warm or cold tossed in salad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm, heavy for its size, and has a deep orange color.
  • Roast the squash until it is tender and slightly caramelized: This will bring out the squash's natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Make the maple butter ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the roasted butternut squash with the maple butter immediately: This is the best way to enjoy the dish while the squash is still warm and the butter is melted.

Conclusion:

Roasted butternut squash with maple butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The combination of sweet squash and rich, buttery sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy butternut squash, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
