Here's a simple but delicious squash recipe for the fall season. Sometimes we don't peel the squash, but you could if you don't like the slightly bitter taste from the peels.
Ingredients
- 1 medium sized squash (about 2 lbs), acorn or butternut, peeled or not, sliced into 1/2" thick semicircles
- 1 onion, sliced
- 5 or 6 whole cloves of garlic, peeled
- 3 or 4 fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced (about 1/4 lbs) (optional)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Oaktown Spice Shop Better Than Everything Bagel Spice
- zest of half a lemon, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional:
- Chopped greens, such as kale or chard
- Chopped green onion
- Roasted nuts
- Dried fruit, such as dates
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Add all the ingredients except lemon zest, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon Better than Everything Bagel Spice to a large mixing bowl and toss.
- Spread out on baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Flip squash and stir other ingredients. Continue in oven for another 15-20 minutes until squash and onions are slightly golden. Put in a mixing bowl and toss with zest, juice and remaining teaspoon of Better than Everything Bagel Spice.
This turned out great, it’s unlike most of the food we make and all the flavors really worked. I was worried there were too many onions but they really cook down and turn into delicious golden to light black carmelized yummerzes. I would strongly recommend using sweet yellow onions btw.
We also tossed in 2 sliced garlic chicken sausages at t-minus 7 minutes and that really worked well too. I might try adding brussels sprouts next time.
