Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 side-dish servings

Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 pounds butternut squash (about 1 large), halved, seeded, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated whole nutmeg or ground nutmeg
Additional nutmeg (for garnish)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place squash on sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat; arrange squash in single layer. Bake squash until brown and very tender when pierced with fork, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Transfer to bowl.

    Step 2

    Melt butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat until foam subsides and butter turns nut-brown, about 4 minutes. Pour over squash; stir lightly to coat. Toss with more salt and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Sprinkle with more nutmeg and serve.
