Fennel and Butternut Squash
x
Print Options
Description
Very basic, but the flavors really compliment each other. Fennel plus squash is delicious synergy!
This can be a side dish or a meal depending on what you choose to serve it with.
Ingredients
- 1 whole Butternut Squash
- 1 bulb Fennel
- 1 whole Large Onion
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400F.
Peel and cube the squash.
Wash and trim the fennel, getting rid of the white outer lay and the fronds. Chop into 1-inch chunks.
Chop onion into wedges (or whatever makes your skirt fly up, but leave the pieces medium-sized, don’t go crazy).
Put veggies in a large bowl and toss with olive oil and salt.
Dump veggies onto a baking sheet/roasting pan and put in the oven. Stir every 20 minutes until squash is tender and fennel and onion are soft, about 45 minutes in my oven.
Note: the moisture in the squash prohibits the delicious browny crunch that usually goes with roasted veggies. No worries, it’s still delicious.
Other ideas: before cooking, toss with Middle Eastern spices (cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, cayenne) and then serve over quinoa for a complete gluten free meal. Or add 1 teaspoon thyme instead and serve as a side with roasted chicken.
