Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • Peel squash and cut into ½-1 inch (1.3-2.5 cm) cubes.*
  • Coat lightly with olive oil and salt to taste.
  • Spread squash evenly on a metal grid rack on top of a baking pan.†
  • Place in preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the edges brown.
  • While the squash is cooking, melt butter in a sauce pan over medium-low heat.
  • Let the butter start to foam and continue cooking until the liquid butter below the foam starts to turn brown.
  • As soon as you see the brown coloring, add the chopped sage (make sure it is not still wet) to the pot and stir for just a few seconds (5-10). Any longer and the sage will burn.
  • Immediately remove the butter sage sauce from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Allow the sauce to sit while the squash finishes cooking.
  • When the squash is done, remove it from the oven and transfer to a bowl.
  • Pour the brown butter sage sauce over the squash and serve immediately.

Notes

*To save prep time, you can buy/use precut fresh squash. I do not recommend using frozen cubed squash as it becomes too mushy when cooked. †Using a rack will produce squash that is more evenly cooked that does not sit in liquid so it stays dryer. If you don't have a rack, be sure to stir/turn the squash periodically to ensure even cooking.
