Winter Squash With Browned Butter And Rosemary Recipes

WINTER SQUASH CASSEROLE WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place squash cubes in a large mixing bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch, then whisk in ginger, salt and pepper. Add half the dry ingredients to the squash and toss gently but thoroughly to combine. Add remaining dry ingredients and toss again until evenly coated. Add garlic, parsley, rosemary and 1/3 cup oil. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat.
• Transfer squash to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until tender. Uncover and bake until very soft, another 45 to 60 minutes. (The casserole can be cooled and refrigerated at this point for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before resuming.)
• To finish, brown the top: Turn oven to 350 degrees. (Alternatively, turn oven to 325 degrees with convection, or use the broiler.) Heat squash until sizzling on the bottom and crusty on the top, about 10 minutes. (If reheating from room temperature, it will take longer, 20 to 30 minutes.) Serve immediately.

Season generously with salt and pepper.

ROASTED WINTER SQUASH WITH BROWNED BUTTER AND SAGE

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Brush the oil on the foil and the cut sides of the squash. Place squash halves face down.
• Roast until a skewer inserted in the squash meets no resistance, about 40-50 minutes.
• When the squash is almost done, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
• Add the sage and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter is golden brown and the sage is crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Remove the squash from the oven and turn cut-side up and season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle or brush with the sage butter sauce and sprinkle with brown sugar. Serve immediately.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH BROWNED BUTTER

Steps:

• Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and fibers. Cut crosswise into 3 or 4 inch lengths to make peeling easier. Cut peeled squash into 1/2" wide strips, cut the strips into 1/2" cubes.
• Heat butter over medium-high heat in skillet until light to medium brown. Watch closely to prevent burning. If using a skillet with a dark interior, scoop some of the browning butter into a shiny spoon to check color.
• Add squash cubes to butter. Stir to coat well. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 10 minutes, remove cover and add sage and pepper. Stir to make sure that all chunks have contact with bottom of pan and cook until squash is tender, approximately an additional 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH, ROSEMARY AND GRAPE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the squash and season liberally with salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, then transfer to the baking dish. Repeat browning of remaining squash with another tablespoon of olive oil and more salt and pepper. Transfer to baking dish. Heat another tablespoon of the oil in the skillet and add the onion and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the broth and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom. Bring to a simmer and pour into baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until squash is very tender, about 40 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 450°F. Remove the dish from the oven and take off the foil. Sprinkle the grapes over the top. In a medium bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the squash. Bake until top is browned and bubbling, or about 10 to 15 minutes longer.
