Roasted Squash With Maple-Ginger Glaze
- 2 1/2 pounds acorn, delicata, or butternut squash, seeded and cut into long 1/2 inch thick pieces
- olive oil
- Kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- Juice and zest of one small lemon
- 2 inches ginger, grated
- 2-3 tablespoons water
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0 F.
- Arrange squash pieces on a baking dish in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until squash is nicely browned and tender.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Let butter brown a little, then add maple syrup, lemon zest, and ginger. Mix well. Stir in water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce loosens a little. Remove from heat and add lemon juice.
- You can puree the glaze if desired for a smoother consistency, or leave with lemon zest and ginger threads for texture.
- Serve squash with a drizzle of glaze on top.
