Sweet Butternut Squash

I can't believe how quickly Thanksgiving is approaching this year! I also can't believe the exciting vegetable coming out of my garden :) So i decided to try out a side dish recipe for Thanksgiving - using  the vegetables from my own yard!

My Latest Harvest

Ingredients:

  • 1 large butternut squash, quartered lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation:

Scoop seeds out of butternut squash. Arrange butternut squash pieces, cut-side down, in a large baking dish. Pour hot water in the baking dish to a depth of about 1/4-inch. Bake butternut squash at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender. Cool squash; peel.
Cut squash into 1/2-inch slices and place in a 9x13x2-inch baking dish. Pour butter and honey over squash, then sprinkle with pecans and cinnamon. Return to oven and bake for 15 to 25 minutes, until butternut squash is glazed and hot.




Oh, and make some bread to go along! I found this awesome bread recipe that I will have to share with you soon!

  1. This looks so good! Surely this produce didn't come out of your garden now? I miss our garden season so much already!
