A simple combination of sweet and savory fall flavors, adapted from a recipe in the September 2002 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine. The squash carmelizes in a really wonderful way. Ingredients:
1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds) |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Peel squash, cut off stem and 1/2 inch of bottom end. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and pulp. Place flat side down on a cutting board and slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
3. Mix sage, olive oil, garlic powder, pepper and salt in a bowl and toss squash pieces in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
4. Place squash pieces in a single layer on a large baking pan or dish. Roast squash for 35-40 minutes or until tender and caramelized, flipping pieces half way through cooking.
5. Serve hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh or fried sage.
