Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Vegetarian     Squash     Butternut Squash     Parmesan     Lemon     Grains     Seed     Raisin

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (3-4-lb.) kabocha, buttercup, or kuri squash
3 oz. Parmesan, coarsely grated, plus more shaved for serving
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

11/2 cups cooked whole grains (such as barley, farro, and/or black or red quinoa)
1/3 cup unsalted, roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
3 Tbsp. golden raisins
Shaved Parmesan (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 300°F. Prick squash all over with the point of a sharp paring knife and arrange on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast until very tender (knife should slide easily through the flesh), about 3 hours. Tear or cut squash in half and let sit until cool enough to handle.

GARLIC PARMESAN ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Garlic Parmesan Roasted Butternut Squash Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-40912

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound butternut squash, peeled and cut into small chunks
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 stick butter (4 tablespoons), melted
Pinch of salt
3 dashes black pepper
Some parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a salad bowl, toss the butternut squash cubes with the garlic, melted butter, salt, pepper, and parsley leaves. Transfer the butternut squash on a baking sheet. Spread out in an even and single layer (no overlap), and roast for about 40 minutes or until the surface becomes light brown and the flesh is tender and soft. Turn off the heat, remove from oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top of the squash. Put it back into the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melted. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any squash that has soft spots or bruises.
  • Roast the squash at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the squash and give it a delicious, nutty flavor. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Butternut squash is a versatile vegetable that can be paired with a variety of different herbs and spices. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Roast the squash until it is tender: The squash should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, but not so soft that it falls apart. The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the squash and how thick it is cut.
  • Serve the squash immediately: Roasted butternut squash is best served immediately, while it is still warm and flavorful. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
