Simple Delicious Butternut Squash image

This is very tasty, healthy and easy to make. I serve this with Recipe #399309 which is excellent or plain yogurt on a bed of spiced middle eastern rice such as, Recipe #231601 with an addition of raisins or Recipe #201454, using ground beef and Recipe #79179 instead of allspice for better flavour. Lately we love it on top of Recipe #16616 as well.

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 butternut squash
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Deseed and wash squash. Keep the peel on.
  • Greese 9" X 13" pan with 1 tbs of the canola oil.
  • Place squash half face down in pan and carefully add water up to 1 1/2"s from the bottom of the pan.
  • Put in preheated oven for 50 minutes or until tender.
  • Take squash out of oven and empty any remaining water.
  • Flip squash carefully and sprinkle dark brown sugar, and cinnamon over top if using.
  • Drizzle with remaining canola oil.
  • Place in oven until sugar is melted approximately 7 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool if you have time this way you can peel the squash for easier eating.
  • What I do is make rice and then warm it all up in the same greased pan with the peeled squash on top of the rice which I slice into two pieces for DH and I.
  • (We eat from the same serving platter adding yogurt to our individual portions.).
