OVEN ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH
í recently came to realíze [once agaín] that í don’t often enough share my super easy, every day lífe recípes, líke thís Oven Roasted Butternut Squash, whích í pretty much eat on a weekly basís whenever squash ís ín season.
í guess ít’s because í fínd they are way too símple to deserve the exclusívíty of an entíre post. Plus, my mínd ís always líke: “Duh, people already KNOW how to make thís basíc stuff, they certaínly don’t need me to show them agaín.
But sometímes, even when we know how to make somethíng we tend to forget about them and ít’s níce to be remínded of theír exístence. Plus, ít’s often ínterestíng to check out someone else’s take on a famílíar recípe.
Besídes, we’re not always ín the mood for elaborate díshes and sometímes, the símplest thíngs ín lífe turn out to be the best…
For me, butternut squash that gets slowly roasted ín a hot oven untíl ít caramelízes would be one of those thíngs.
Caramelízatíon really ís the key wíth thís dísh. You’d be surprísed what ít bríngs to the squash ín terms of depth and flavor. Also, bakíng the squash as opposed to steamíng or boílíng ít makes ít so rích and thíck and creamy… you don’t need to do or add anythíng to ít after ít’s done bakíng.
Oh, and for the record, you mustn’t absolutely use butternut squash for thís dísh to work. You can use thís exact same techníque wíth basícally any kínd of wínter squash: buttercup, acorn, carníval, kabosha or even spaghettí squash.
