- 2 medium delicata squash
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 12 fresh sage leaves
How to make Roasted Delicata Squash with Sage Brown Butter
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash the 2 medium delicata squash thoroughly. Delicata squash skin is edible, so there's no need to peel it. Carefully slice each squash in half lengthwise.
- Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and fibrous strands from the center of each squash half. Then, slice each half into 1/2-inch thick crescent-shaped pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced delicata squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the pieces are not overlapping to promote even roasting and browning.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the squash pieces halfway through, until they are tender when pierced with a fork and lightly caramelized at the edges.
- While the squash roasts, prepare the sage brown butter. In a small saucepan, melt 0.25 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a rich golden-brown color and smells nutty, and the milk solids at the bottom begin to brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add 12 roughly chopped fresh sage leaves to the browned butter. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the sage is fragrant and slightly crispy. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
- Once the squash is roasted, transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle the warm sage brown butter generously over the squash, ensuring each piece gets coated.
- Serve immediately as a fragrant and tender side dish.
