Ingredients
- 2 pounds Butternut Squash
- ¼ cup Walnuts
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 1 teaspoon Sage Dried
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil Or butter
- ¼ cup Cranberries Dried
- 1½ Tablespoons Maple Syrup
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
- Large Bowl
- Stovetop
- Small Skillet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Rinse and peel squash. Cut off ends and discard. Cut squash at the neck, creating a narrow end and a round end. Cut round end in half and scoop out seeds with a spoon. Cut squash into ¾-inch, even-size cubes.
- In a large bowl, add squash. Toss with oil, sage, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Spread squash evenly on a baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until tender, about 35 minutes.
- While squash is roasting, coarsely chop walnuts. Set aside.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter or heat oil. Add walnuts and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cranberries and maple syrup.
- Gently toss cooked squash with cranberry mixture.
Notes
- To bring out flavors even more, stir in 1 Tablespoon cider vinegar along with the
cranberry mixture. - You can use fresh sage instead of dried. Leave out dried sage in step 4. Roll 4 fresh sage leaves into a log shape and slice thinly. Cook fresh sage in butter or oil along with the walnuts in step 6.
- Use pecans or hazelnuts in place of walnuts. Try using raisins or dried cherries in place of cranberries. Also, you can use any winter squash for this recipe.
