Roasted Sweet Dumpling Squash with Maple Butter
Ingredients
- 2 sweet dumpling squash
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp nutmeg optional
- ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prep the squash: Cut each squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Slice into wedges or leave as halves for a more dramatic presentation.
- Season: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Brush this mixture generously over the squash.
- Roast: Place the squash cut-side up on the baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
Notes
Optional topping: Sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts in the last 5 minutes of roasting for extra crunch.
