Ingredients
Scale
For the Squash:
- 2 sweet dumpling squash
- 1/2 large butternut squash
- 1/4 tsp ground sage
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp chopped fresh dill, for garnish
- 1/2 tsp chopped fresh sage, for garnish
For the Dressing:
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Turn your oven on to 400ºF. Generously grease a rimmed baking sheet.
- Carefully cut the dumpling squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Slice into 1/2-inch wedges (at the thickest part – the ends will be thinner). You’ll leave the skin on these.
- Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place everything on the baking sheet in a single layer without any overlap.*
- Roast the squash for 15 minutes, toss, and cook for another 15 minutes. The squash should be fork-tender when done.
- Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. When the squash is done cooking, use a silicone pastry brush to brush it over the squash.
- Serve garnished with fresh dill and sage alongside Pomegranate Cranberry Sauce.
Notes
If you want to double this recipe, you can pile everything into a 9×13″ baking dish. If the squash overlaps a bunch it won’t get as crispy, but it will still be delicious. You could also roast it on two separate sheet pans.
This recipe will feed 3 people as a main dish, or provide guests with about 5 side portions for dinner.
