Description
Indulge in the rich, velvety flavors of this Butternut Squash With Brown Butter And Goat Cheese recipe. The tender, caramelized squash is elevated by the nutty brown butter sauce and the tangy, creamy goat cheese for a cozy, comforting meal.
Ingredients
– 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
– 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 2. Spread the butternut squash cubes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
3. 3. Roast the squash for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
4. 4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter is fragrant and has turned a rich, nutty brown color, about 5-7 minutes.
5. 5. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the minced garlic and thyme sprigs. Let the mixture sit for 1 minute to allow the flavors to infuse.
6. 6. Transfer the roasted butternut squash to a serving dish and drizzle the brown butter mixture over the top. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the squash.
7. 7. Garnish with additional fresh thyme sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
– For a creamier texture, you can mash the roasted squash slightly before adding the brown butter.
– Experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or Parmesan, if you prefer a different flavor profile.
– This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish.
