Roasted Butternut Squash Tacos
- 1 whole Butternut Squash, Peeled And Cubed (2 1/2-3 Pound Size)
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, Divided
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 whole Medium Yellow Onion, Thinly Sliced
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Dried Sage
- 1 Tablespoon Water
- 6 whole Flour Tortillas
- Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Heat the oven to 400 F. Spread the squash in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Ensure that each piece is coated with oil.
- Put the pan into the oven and roast the squash for 30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes.
- While the squash roasts, caramelize the onions.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions and garlic and stir until they are well-coated with the oil.
- Add a small pinch of salt and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the dried sage and stir.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and place a lid on the pan, but leave it open just a bit to allow it to slightly vent.
- Stir frequently to ensure the onions are not burning.
- The onions will become very fragrant and soft after about 10 more minutes.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of water and stir.
- Return the lid to the pan and cook for another 10 minutes to allow the water to steam the onions.
- When the squash and onions are done, wrap the tortillas in a damp towel and warm them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Scoop the roasted butternut squash into the tortillas, about 1/3 cup each.
- Top with the onions and Parmesan cheese and dig in!
- Notes: Instead of putting it in tortillas, this can be served as a side dish as well.
- Just mix the onions into the roasted squash and top with the Parmesan.
- I think this would be excellent with sweet potatoes and/or pumpkin in place of the butternut squash.
- Or just combine all three!
