Brown Butter Sage Roasted Butternut Squash

Print Recipe

A cozy autumn dish featuring nutty brown butter, earthy sage, and caramelized butternut squash. Perfect for fall gatherings or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, seed, and cube the butternut squash into 1-inch pieces. Toss the cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the squash for 20 minutes, then flip the pieces using tongs or a spatula. Roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized on the edges.
  4. While the squash is roasting, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Add the fresh sage leaves to the butter and let them crisp up for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Transfer the roasted squash to a serving bowl. Drizzle the brown butter and sage over the squash, tossing gently to coat.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy warm.

Notes

Ensure the squash cubes are spread out evenly on the baking sheet to avoid steaming. Watch the butter closely while browning to prevent burning.
