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.
Serve warm and enjoy!
