Roasted Winter Squash with Curry Butter and Apple Cider
Serves 4
3 tablespoons (50 mL) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons 25 mL) brown sugar
1 tablespoon (15 mL) hot or medium curry powder
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) coarse sea salt or kosher salt
2 pounds (900 g) winter squash, peeled if necessary, seeded and cut into 2-inch (5-cm) chunks
1 cup (250 mL) apple cider
Preheat oven to 450 degreesF (230 degreesC). Select an overproof casserole or skillet large enough to hold the squash in a single layer.
Melt butter in the casserole over medium heat. Add brown sugar, curry powder, salt, and cook, stirring, until butter melts. Add squash and toss to coat.
Gradually pour cider down the side of the pan without pouring it directly over squash. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
Transfer casserole to the oven and roast 30 minutes, basting midway through the cooking time. Squash is done when the tip of a knife does not meet any resistance when inserted into the squash.
