Categories     Side dishes

Yield three to four.

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Tbs. unsalted butter
4 cups 1/2-inch-diced, peeled butternut squash (from about a 2-pound squash)
Kosher salt
1 Tbs. finely grated fresh ginger (use a rasp-style grater if you have one)
1 Tbs. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch cayenne
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt 3 Tbs. of the butter in a 10-inch straight-sided sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the butternut squash and a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally at first and then more frequently as the squash browns, until the squash is tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Push the squash to one side of the pan and add the remaining Tbs. of butter to the clear space. When the butter melts, add the ginger, garlic, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook the aromatics in the melted butter, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan until they are softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne into the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir the flavorings into the squash, adjust the salt to taste before serving, and garnish with the cilantro, if using.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Cut the squash correctly: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Then, cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the squash, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the squash from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality oil: Use a high-heat oil, such as olive oil or avocado oil, for sautéing the squash.
  • Season the squash well: Season the squash with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
  • Cook the squash until tender: Sauté the squash until it is tender but still has a little bit of bite to it.
  • Serve the squash immediately: Serve the squash immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent it from getting mushy.

Conclusion:

Sautéed butternut squash is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This dish is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of different main courses. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a more elaborate dish for a special occasion, sautéed butternut squash is a great option.
