Best Butternut Squash With Orange Butter Glaze Recipes

CARAMELIZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off and discard the ends of each butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. With clean hands, toss all the ingredients together and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. While roasting, turn the squash a few times with a spatula, to be sure it browns evenly. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.

AIR FRYER ORANGE-CRANBERRY BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Line the basket of a 5.8-quart air fryer with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Foil should completely cover the bottom of the basket, and go about halfway up the sides, to form an inner pot.
• Slice butternut squash into 2x3/4-inch pieces and place inside the foil-lined air fryer basket. Sprinkle cranberries on top.
• Stir orange juice, honey, melted butter, grated ginger, salt, and white pepper together in a small bowl. Pour over squash and cranberries.
• Set air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Air fry for about 10 minutes. Stir contents, making sure to rotate unbrowned pieces to the top and browned pieces to the bottom. Continue air frying for an additional 10 minutes. Stir again, rotating browned pieces beneath the unbrowned pieces, and air fry for about 6 minutes. Stir and cook until squash is fork-tender, about 4 minutes more.
• Place squash and cranberries into a serving dish. Carefully lift the foil out of the air fryer basket and pour cooking liquid over all. Garnish with fresh orange slices and fresh parsley.

ORANGE AND MAPLE ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the squash with the oil and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Tile the squash slices in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, overlapping the pieces. Stir the maple syrup, orange zest and juice together in a small bowl and pour over the squash.
• Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the squash is tender and the top begins to brown, 30 to 40 minutes more. Scatter the parsley over the top.

MAPLE-GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Set 2 oven racks in the middle and bottom of the oven, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 rimmed half-sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone mats.
• In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and maple syrup, making sure they're all evenly coated. Sprinkle with the salt, cinnamon, pepper and orange zest, and, using your hands, toss the vegetables to coat them evenly in the oil and spices.
• Transfer to the baking sheets. Roast, switching the baking sheets on their racks and stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking, until the largest piece of squash is tender all the way through, about 30 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Take turns placing each baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize the vegetables. Serve hot, warm or cold tossed in salad.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH BUTTER

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until mixture reaches a thick, spreadable consistency, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 weeks.

HONEY ORANGE BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• In a steamer set over boiling water steam the squash, covered, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until it is just tender but not soft, and remove it from the steamer. In a skillet melt the butter with the honey, the zest, and the orange juice, stirring, add the squash and salt and pepper to taste, and cook the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring gently, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the squash is coated well with the orange mixture.
