Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tbsp crushed dried rose petals (optional)
1 tsp finely grated lime zest
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground cumin
kosher salt
4 lb assorted small winter squash (such as acorn , kabocha , or delicata)
kosher salt
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Directions:

For spiced butter: Mix all ingredients except salt in a small bowl until lime juice is incorporated. Season with salt. Cover; keep in a cool place. DO AHEAD: Spiced butter can be made 1 week ahead. Roll into logs, wrap in parchment paper, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
For squash: Trim ends of acorn and kabocha squash and cut in half through the stem end. Scrape out seeds and place squash cut side down on a cutting board (do not peel). Cut halves crosswise into 1/2 slices. If using delicata squash, cut crosswise into 1/2 rings; scrape out seeds.
Fill a large wide pot with water to a depth of 1/2 and add a pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Add squash slices; reduce heat to mediumlow. Cover and steam, adding more water as needed to maintain 1/2 of water at bottom of pot, until squash is tender but not falling apart, 20-25 minutes.
Carefully transfer squash slices to a large platter (some squash at bottom of pot may be too soft; save for another purpose4) and season with salt.
Reduce water in pot over high heat (or add hot water) to measure 3/4 cup. Remove from heat and whisk in spiced butter, 1 tablespoonful at a time, to form a rich, glossy sauce. Season to taste with salt. Drizzle spiced butter over squash. Top with pomegranate seeds.
