ROASTED ACORN SQUASH AGRODOLCE



Roasted Acorn Squash Agrodolce image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vegetable oil, for frying
15 fresh sage leaves
Pinch kosher salt
2 large acorn squash
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup smoked almonds

Steps:

  • For the fried sage leaves: Heat a small saucepan with 1 inch oil over medium-high heat. Test the oil by touching the tip of a sage leaf in the oil; if it bubbles, the oil is ready for frying. Fry the leaves, 3 to 4 at a time, until the bubbles subside and the leaves become crisp. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
  • For the squash: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Using a chef's knife, cut off a small amount off the top and bottom of each squash. Set the squash, cut-side down, and cut in half. Using a large spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. Cut each half into 5 wedges and place them in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, cayenne, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt. Toss with your hands to coat well, then transfer the squash to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork tender, 35 minutes.
  • Place the butter in a small skillet and melt over medium heat until the foam subsides and the solids begin to smell nutty and turn brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow the butter to cool for 2 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and sugar until the sugar is dissolved, then whisk in the brown butter, using a rubber spatula to get all the brown bits out of the pan. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Lay the squash on a serving platter and spoon the vinaigrette over. Dollop with the mascarpone and sprinkle with the almonds and fried sage.

2 small acorn squashes, quartered and seeded
Canola oil, for baking sheet
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Tips:

  • Choose the right acorn squash: Look for squash that is heavy for its size, with deep green skin and no blemishes.
  • Roast the squash and Brussels sprouts together: This is a great way to save time and energy, and it also helps the flavors of the two vegetables to meld together.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil: This will help to bring out the flavor of the squash and Brussels sprouts.
  • Season the vegetables well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the vegetables from roasting evenly.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned: This will take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

This roasted acorn squash and Brussels sprouts recipe is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
