Ingredients
  • 2½ lbs acorn, delicata, or butternut squash, seeded and cut into long ½ inch thick pieces
  • olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • juice and zest from one small lemon
  • 2 inches ginger, grated
  • 2-3 tablespoons water
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Arrange squash pieces on a baking dish in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until squash is nicely browned and tender.
  3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Let butter brown a little, then add maple syrup, lemon zest, and ginger. Mix well. Stir in water, one tablespoon at a time, until sauce loosens a little. Remove from heat and add lemon juice.
  4. You can puree the glaze if desired for a smoother consistency, or leave with lemon zest and ginger threads for texture.
  5. Serve squash with a dollop of glaze on top.
