Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons mild curry powder
2 teaspoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts (about 1 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • With a sharp knife, carefully cut about four 1/2-inch slits in the squash to allow steam to escape while it cooks. Put the squash on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Let the squash cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, with a fork, mash the butter, curry powder, shallots, cilantro, salt, lemon zest and pepper to taste until well combined.
  • Cut the squash in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. With a large fork, pull the squash fibers away from the outer peel (use a towel to hold the squash in place if necessary). Transfer the warm squash to a serving bowl and top with the curry butter. Toss until the butter is melted and evenly mixed. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm with the pine nuts scattered on top.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 pounds each), halved crosswise and seeded

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH BROWN BUTTER VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Butternut Squash With Brown Butter Vinaigrette image

This roasted butternut squash is every bit as caramelized as you'd want it to be, without the prep work that's usually involved. First, it's cooked without being peeled: The skin is a crisp counterpart to the jammy interior. (If you do want to get rid of the peel, it tears away easily after roasting.) Then, it's dressed with a vinaigrette made with brown butter, vinegar and dried chile. Mint is added for freshness and flaky salt for crunch, and you could also throw on some cheese - Parmesan, Gruyère, ricotta - for more richness. Serve the squash over sturdy salad greens, or add nuts or pepitas to the browning butter for more texture.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large butternut squash (3 to 4 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more as needed
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves (optional)
Flaky salt

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack at the bottom of the oven and heat to 425 degrees. Slice the squash 1/2-inch-thick crosswise. (No need to peel.) Cut slices in half, if desired, to make half moons. Remove the seeds from the squash with a spoon and discard.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast on the bottom rack until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Flip and roast until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes.
  • After you flip the squash, make the brown butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vinegar and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside on the stovetop until the squash is ready. (The heat from the oven keeps the butter from hardening.)
  • Dip a piece of squash into the vinaigrette, try it, and adjust vinegar, salt and red-pepper flakes to taste. Spoon the vinaigrette over the squash and top with mint leaves, if using, and flaky salt.

Tips:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash: Look for spaghetti squash that is firm and heavy, with a deep yellow color. Avoid squash with blemishes or bruises.
  • Roast the spaghetti squash properly: To ensure that the spaghetti squash is cooked evenly, roast it at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the flesh can be easily scraped out with a fork.
  • Use a fork to scrape out the squash: Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to gently scrape the flesh out of the shell. This will create long, spaghetti-like strands.
  • Season the spaghetti squash to taste: Once the spaghetti squash is scraped out, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter for extra flavor.
  • Serve the spaghetti squash as a side dish or main course: Spaghetti squash can be served as a side dish or main course. It can be topped with a variety of sauces, including tomato sauce, pesto, or Alfredo sauce. It can also be used in salads, soups, and casseroles.

Conclusion:

Roasted spaghetti squash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It is a good source of fiber and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to suit your taste. With its unique texture and mild flavor, roasted spaghetti squash is a great addition to any meal.
