Grated Spicy Butternut Squash Recipes

OLD BAY BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Halve, peel and seed 1 small butternut squash; cut into 3/4-inch-thick wedges. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Old Bay and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast at 425˚ until lightly browned and tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Trim both ends off the squash and remove the skin with a vegetable peeler. Cut the squash in half lengthwise with a large, sharp knife. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the squash halves crosswise into 1-inch thick half-moons, then dice into 1-inch pieces. (A 3-pound squash will yield about 7 cups.)
• Place the diced squash, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the squash in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the squash is lightly browned and tender, turning once with a metal spatula.

SPICY ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Peel butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut the bottom round end off and reserve for later use. Make noodles using the thickest blade of a sturdy spiralizer.
• Place butternut squash noodles in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Toss until evenly combined. Divide noodles between 2 large baking sheets.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Flip noodles and roast for 4 minutes more.
• Transfer noodles to a serving dish and garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

SPICY HONEY-GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Put the squash in a foil-lined 9-by-13-inch baking dish and toss with the harissa, honey, olive oil, lemon, garlic, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt. Roast, tossing halfway through, until the squash is caramelized and tender, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Drizzle the squash with the vinegar and top with mint.

SPICY BUTTERNUT SQUASH MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, butternut squash, and pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and vegetables begin to brown, 5 minutes. Add sage and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
• In a large bowl, combine pork, cheese, bread, and egg. Add vegetable mixture and season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Using your hands, mix until ingredients are combined. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; form into a 4-by-10-inch loaf. Bake until meatloaf is cooked through, 40 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
