Whole, unpeeled garlic cloves roast along with butternut squash in this aromatic side dish. Give each guest a couple of garlic cloves, and invite them to extract the mellow roasted pulp over the squash. Ingredients:
10 cup (2-inch) cubed peeled butternut squash (about 3 pounds) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
12 garlic cloves, unpeeled |
8 fresh thyme sprigs |
6 bay leaves |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Combine all of the ingredients except cooking spray in a large bowl; toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 45 minutes or until tender, stirring after 20 minutes. Discard thyme and bay leaves before serving.
