- 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
- Olive oil, salt and pepper
- 3 Tbs. butter
- 1 ½ Tbs. honey
- ¼ tsp. cayenne
- Chopped fresh mint, for finishing (optional)
To roast butternut squash: Preheat a foil-lined baking sheet in a 450F oven. Toss squash with a little oil, salt and pepper and transfer to sheet pan. Roast until softened and lightly caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes.
In a medium small fry pan over medium to medium-high heat, warm butter and bring to a simmer. Once butter starts foaming, cook, stirring frequently, until butter solids begin to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in honey and cayenne. Drizzle over warm squash and finish with a little freshly chopped mint. Serves 4 to 6.
