Ingredients
- 1 small butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 3-4 prigs fresh thyme picked
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Start by cutting the butternut squash evenly in half on lengthwise. Scoop out the inside and discard.
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel off the skin just until you see the bright orange flesh.
- Place the halves on a baking sheet and cut side down.
- In a small bowl, whisk melted butter with honey, garlic, chili, and thyme.
- Brush the squash with half of the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool until ready to handle.
- Place the squash halves on a cutting board, and using a very sharp knife, slice it thinly but not all the way through.
- Return the squash to the same baking sheet and brush with the remaining garlic butter mixture Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes. or until golden brown on the tops and tender.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- after roasting for the first time, allow it to cool so you can handle it and over burned hands!
- For bigger dinners, you can easily multiply the squash.
- Do not attempt to Hasselback the squash without partially cooking it first.
- When slicing the squash, you can place them on two chopsticks or a big serving spoon to stop you from slicing right through.
- You can omit the chili flakes or up the chili flakes, depending on how much spice you like!
- To help prevent burning, add a couple of tbsp of water to the pan as and when needed.
- Nudge the layers apart if they're still sticking together, and make sure some of the honey garlic glazes drips down into the space between the slices.
- When transferring the Hasselback Butternut Squash to a serving plate, make sure to support it well, as it'll be fragile.
- This squash is best straight from the oven while the edges are at their crispiest!
