Fennel And Butternut Squash
- 1 whole Butternut Squash
- 1 bulb Fennel
- 1 whole Large Onion
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Peel and cube the squash.
- Wash and trim the fennel, getting rid of the white outer lay and the fronds. Chop into 1-inch chunks.
- Chop onion into wedges (or whatever makes your skirt fly up, but leave the pieces medium-sized, don't go crazy).
- Put veggies in a large bowl and toss with olive oil and salt.
- Dump veggies onto a baking sheet/roasting pan and put in the oven. Stir every 20 minutes until squash is tender and fennel and onion are soft, about 45 minutes in my oven.
- Note: the moisture in the squash prohibits the delicious browny crunch that usually goes with roasted veggies. No worries, it's still delicious.
- Other ideas: before cooking, toss with Middle Eastern spices (cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, cayenne) and then serve over quinoa for a complete gluten free meal. Or add 1 teaspoon thyme instead and serve as a side with roasted chicken.
