To Roast Butternut Squash Slices
Golden roasted butternut squash slices, lightly brushed with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, caramelize to perfection in the oven, offering a simple and delicious side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash about 2 pounds
- Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing the slices
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- With a vegetable peeler, remove the skin on the squash. Cut the neck off and slice it crosswise into one-half-inch-thick slices. If desired, halve the squash "bowl," seed and remove the strings, and cut it crosswise into slices, too. Place the slices on a baking sheet, brush with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 45 minutes, or until the slices begin to caramelize around the edges. Let cool on the baking sheet. Store in a covered container in the
- refrigerator for 1 week.
