Soy Glazed Butternut Squash Recipes

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS, BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND BACON WITH MAPLE SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the squash, 1/2 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to coat. In another large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, remaining tablespoon of oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper, to taste.
• Spread the vegetables in an even layer on 1 sheet pan. Top with bacon. Roast for 20 minutes, with a spatula, toss veggies and roast an additional 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small sauce pot, combine the syrup and soy sauce. Over medium low heat, simmer sauce for 5 minutes, or until it begins to thicken slightly. Set aside.
• When vegetables are done roasting, transfer to a serving dish. Add maple soy sauce and toss to coat.

CARAMELIZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off and discard the ends of each butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. With clean hands, toss all the ingredients together and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. While roasting, turn the squash a few times with a spatula, to be sure it browns evenly. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.

SQUASH RINGS WITH HONEY-SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line large baking sheet with foil. Spray with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Cut off both ends of each squash. Cut each squash crosswise into 4 rings. Scoop out seeds and discard. Place squash rings in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Cover baking sheet tightly with foil. Bake until squash begins to soften, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk next 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Remove foil from squash. Brush half of honey mixture over squash. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake uncovered 10 minutes. Brush remaining honey mixture over squash; continue to bake until squash is brown, tender and glazed, about 10 minutes.

MAPLE-GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat it to 375°F. Cut the squashes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and pulp and discard.
• Place the cut squash halves cut side up in a baking dish with about ½ inch of water, and cover each half tightly with foil. Bake until easily pierced with a knife but still firm, about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the type and size of squash used. Tip: If you don't have a knife sharp enough to cut the squashes in half, simply wrap in foil, place them in a casserole dish, and bake until they can be just pierced through, but are still firm. You can then cut them and remove the seeds.
• Allow the squash to cool until it is safe to handle. Peel the squashes (the skins should remove easily after baking) and cut into 1-inch chunks. Once you're ready to roast the squash, heat the oven to 425°F.
• Combine the squash chunks in a mixing bowl with all the remaining ingredients, except the fresh herbs, and stir together well. Transfer to a parchment-lined roasting pan.
• Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until nicely glazed, stirring once or twice. Serve from the pan or transfer to a covered serving container.
