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!

made this, halving the recipe (as it was just for me) and the butter/brown sugar mixture began to burn--maybe because I halved the recipe and there was just too much room on the baking sheet. It also only took about 30 minutes to cook. I added cinnamon. It's delicious!

Easy to put together and really, really good, too!! What more could you ask? This was not nearly as sweet as I thought it might be, which was great, since I prefer savory entrees and sides. Love the crunchy outside/creamy inside texture. This is a keeper!

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.
