Savory & Sweet: Roasted Butternut Squash with Spicy

Autumn Recipe: Roasted Butternut Squash with Spicy Maple Glaze

I’m excited to share this unique and delicious recipe for Roasted Butternut Squash with a Spicy Maple Glaze. As the days get cooler and the leaves start to change, this dish captures all the flavors of autumn in one savory and sweet bite. The combination of tender butternut squash, spicy chili flakes, and sweet maple syrup is sure to warm both your heart and your taste buds.

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced (about 800g)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• spatula
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced butternut squash, olive oil, maple syrup, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the squash is well coated in the mixture.

Spread the seasoned butternut squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time.

Once the butternut squash is roasted to perfection, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the baking sheet over the top for extra flavor.

This Roasted Butternut Squash with Spicy Maple Glaze weighs approximately 1000g once cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving is about 250g and has an estimated calorie count of 200.

A clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some chopped toasted pecans over the dish before serving for added crunch and nuttiness.

I encourage you to try this unique take on butternut squash this autumn season. Feel free to adjust the spice level or sweetness to suit your preferences, and make it your own. Enjoy!
