Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Browned Butter and Sage Roasted Acorn Squash

[heart_this] · Nov 21, 2022 · 2 Comments

Browned Butter and Sage Roasted Acorn Squash

Sweet roasted acorn squash wedges drizzled in browned butter, garlic and sage!

Salty melted butter with garlic and crispy sage is a magical flavour combination that goes particularly well with sweet roasted winter squash! You can enjoy this combo with a number winter squash, such as pumpkin or butternut squash, and acorn squash that’s cut into wedges has a really nice presentation! The recipe is super simple, you cut open the acorn squash, scoop out the seeds, slice into wedges, brush with oil and roast until tender. While the squash roasts you melt and brown some butter, where the browning adds a nice nutty aroma and flavour to the butter, before adding the garlic and sage! Both the garlic and the sage infuse their flavour into the butter and the sage gets a little crispy! When the squash is roasted you drizzle the butter sauce over it and enjoy! (I like to eat the squash from the skin with a spoon.) You can garnish with one or more of the following: pepitas, cranberries, parmesan, blue cheese, etc. This easy side is perfect for any special meal, including Thanksgiving!
