ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH BREAD SALAD



Roasted Butternut Squash Bread Salad image

This sheet-pan recipe is an easy way to get a hearty vegetarian meal on the table in under an hour. Inspired by panzanella, which traditionally provides new life for stale bread by tossing it with juicy tomatoes, this bread salad instead gets its moisture from an earthy tahini dressing. The creamy tahini is lightly sweetened with honey, which plays well with the buttery squash, while a flourish of fresh herbs adds a light, springy finish. This makes for a nice supper on its own, but it would also work well as a side to roasted chicken or fish.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2- to 1-inch wedges
4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
3 (1-inch thick) slices country bread or round peasant loaf, torn into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro, parsley or dill, or a combination of all three (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. In a large bowl, toss the squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season well with salt, black pepper and red-pepper flakes (if using) and toss again. Spread the squash in an even layer on the sheet pan and roast until it begins to brown in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the squash roasts, in the same bowl (no need to wipe it out), toss the bread with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. After the squash has roasted for 10 to 15 minutes, remove from the oven and turn the squash pieces over. Add the bread to the sheet pan. Roast 10 to 15 minutes more, turning the bread halfway through, until the croutons are golden and crisp and the squash is tender.
  • While the squash and croutons roast, whisk together the tahini, lime juice, honey and 2 tablespoons water. Season to taste with salt.
  • Arrange the squash and croutons on a platter or in a bowl and drizzle with the dressing. Scatter with the herbs, if using.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD



Roasted Butternut Squash Salad image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons pine nuts
1 medium butternut squash
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more if needed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
6 cups mixed salad greens

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Put the pine nuts in a small skillet over low heat and slowly toast them, stirring, until they're golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Set aside off heat.
  • To prepare the butternut squash, cut off the top and bottom, then use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the hard skin. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon. Slice the squash into sticks and then slice the sticks into cubes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet or saucepan over low heat. Skim off as much of the foam as you can. Put the squash in a bowl and pour in the melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  • Spread the squash out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, shaking the baking sheet once or twice during roasting, 25 to 30 minutes. Crank up the heat to 400 degrees F and roast until the squash is sizzling and golden brown around the edges, another 15 minutes or so. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then add the Parmesan and toss together. Toss in the pine nuts.
  • Mix the olive oil with the balsamic in a bowl and sprinkle in a little salt and pepper. Put the salad greens in a serving bowl and toss with half the dressing. Add the squash mixture and lightly toss it in. Serve the extra dressing on the side. Top with additional Parmesan if desired.

ROAST GARLIC & BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO



Roast garlic & butternut squash risotto image

Roasting butternut squash with garlic, rosemary and warming spices adds such depth to this hearty risotto. Perfect dinner party food, with salad on the side

Provided by Amrita Lal & Kym McAdam

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1½ tbsp olive oil
225g butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into 2cm cubes (about ½ medium squash)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp cayenne pepper
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 large rosemary sprigs
2 tbsp butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
220g arborio rice
1 litre hot vegetable stock
180ml white wine
90g finely grated parmesan or vegetarian alternative
50g toasted pine nuts
balsamic vinegar, for drizzling (optional)
green salad and garlic bread, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan / gas 9 with a baking tray inside to heat up. Carefully drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the hot tray, then add the squash. Sprinkle with the cumin, coriander, cayenne and some seasoning, then add the garlic and rosemary, toss to coat, and roast for 40 mins, turning halfway through, until the squash is tender and golden. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the butter and the remaining oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 10 mins, or until soft and translucent.
  • Add the rice to the pan with the onions and toast for 2-3 mins, stirring until the rice is slightly browned and coated in the butter. Add the hot stock to the pan, a ladle at a time, stirring until all the liquid has been absorbed before adding more. Splash in the wine and continue to cook for 20-25 mins until the rice is almost cooked through but still retains some bite. You may or may not use all the stock, but if you need more liquid, add a splash of water. The risotto should be creamy, and not too thick or sticky.
  • Squeeze the roasted garlic from its skins and stir into the roasted squash. Discard the rosemary sprigs. Gently fold the squash into the risotto, scraping any roasting oils into the pan. Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp butter, then scatter with the cheese and toasted pine nuts. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, if using, then season with cracked black pepper and serve with a green salad, garlic bread or both, if you like.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH CREAM SOUP WITH GINGER



Roasted Butternut Squash Cream Soup with Ginger image

This is our favorite butternut squash soup with ginger; the whole family loves it. I usually make a huge pot of soup and freeze parts of it before adding the cream. I like my soup thick, so I don't add a ton of vegetable broth, but feel free to thin it out with more broth.

Provided by Allrecipes Member

Categories     Squash Soup

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 small butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons butter
2 onion, chopped
2 ½ cups hot vegetable broth, or more to taste, divided
1 (3 inch) piece piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon curry powder, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground cumin, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup heavy whipping cream, or more to taste
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon cider vinegar
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Brush flesh of butternut squash with olive oil and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until skin is wrinkled and flesh is soft, about 40 minutes. Scrape flesh into a bowl with a spoon and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat and cook onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add squash flesh, 2 cups hot broth, and ginger. Season with curry, cumin, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors are well combined, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Roast the butternut squash properly: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the squash, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Make sure the bread is fresh: The fresher the bread, the better the salad will be. If you're using store-bought bread, look for a loaf that is soft and has a good crust.
  • Use a variety of greens: This will add color and flavor to the salad. Some good options include arugula, spinach, kale, and romaine lettuce.
  • Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Make sure to use a good quality olive oil and vinegar. You can also add a bit of honey or maple syrup to sweeten the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This is a best enjoyed fresh. The bread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Roasted butternut squash bread salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover roasted butternut squash. With its sweet and savory flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
