Caramelized Butternut Squash
By: Pianolady
Dec 22, 2004
This is a delicious recipe from Ina Garten / The Barefoot Contessa. We really enjoy this during the holidays. It is best when the squash is cut in medium to large chunks so that the outside gets a maple-flavored crust, and the inside stays soft and delicious.
SERVES 6
Ingredients
- 2 medium butternut squash (4 to 5 pounds total)
- 6-8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2-1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.2
Cut off the ends of each butternut squash and discard.3
Peel the squash and cut in half lengthwise.4
Using a spoon, remove the seeds.5
Cut the squash into 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" cubes (large and uniform is best), and place them on a baking sheet.6
Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper.7
With clean hands, toss all of the ingredients together and spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet.8
Roast for 45 minutes to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize.9
Turn the squash while roasting a few times with a spatula to be sure it browns evenly.10
Adjust seasonings if needed.11
Serve hot.12
Enjoy!

Really, really yummy! I used pure cane sugar and butter only and roasted in my cast iron skillet. Only needed aout 25 min. and they were perfect. Didn't tell my 12 yr. old daughter that it wasn't sweet potato and she ate all of it. She would not have even tried it if I had said the word squash. After, when I told her, she said it was very good.

My family and friends loved them! I got pre-cubed squash from costco, and it came together in about 5 minutes
I found them to be really "mushy" so I will use less butter next time (I used a whole stick of butter).

I've been roasting just about any veggie except squash. . . until now!! These were really good. I used olive oil instead of butter and a little less sugar as the squash were plenty sweet on their own. Great veggie dish. Thanks Pianolady.

I loved this! My DH went bonkers! We've found out he has type 2 diabetes, and it's been hard to adjust some recipes. This one was easy. I used a mixture of Splenda and brown Splenda, followed cooking directions as posted. It worked really well. He told me not to lose this recipe.
