Created by Peter Berley • Fresh Food Fast• Course: Side Dishes • Diet: Vegetarian • Season(s): Fall, Winter
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/4 coarse salt
- 2 pounds winter squash, peeled if necessary, cut into 2” chunks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Select an ovenproof casserole or skillet large enough to hold the squash in a single layer.
Melt the butter in the casserole over medium heat. Add brown sugar, curry powder, and salt, and cook, stirring, until the butter melts. Add the squash and toss to coat.
Gradually pour the cider down the side of the pan without pouring it directly over the squash. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
Transfer the casserole to the oven and roast for 30 minutes, basting midway through the cooking time. The squash is done when the tip of the knife does not meet with any resistance when inserted into the squash.
