One More Pumpkin Recipe (or Butternut ) sigh - cjs - 10-24-2008

I've been working with pumpkin and squash (butternut) so much lately, I'm going bonkers. sorry.

Here's a great side dish using roasted butternut squash and onions and sage...I made it early today for dinner - hope there is some left by then. (another one that's like eating candy)

I cheated a little and sprinkled some Parm over the top.

Roasted Butternut Squash with Sage and Cranberries

1 medium butternut squash
4 tablespoons olive oil* -- divided
Sea salt and ground pepper
2 medium onions
2 tablespoons chopped sage
4 tablespoons dried cranberries or cherries

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Peel squash and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds from the center and discard. Cut squash into large chunks. Coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until well caramelized.

Peel onions and cut into large chunks. Coat with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and spread on a second lined baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until well caramelized. When squash and onions are done, toss with sage and cranberries. Serve immediately.

Description:
"Roasted squash embodies the essence of winter meals, caramelized onions add a piquant touch, and fresh sage and dried cranberries dress it up for the holidays. A versatile side dish that complements anything from a weekday family dinner to a lavish holiday" I think I got this from a Whole Foods newsletter.

Jean, I made this for dinner last night and it was great. Will become one of my go tos now. I served it with breaded pork chops with milk gravy. I know, I know but it was a Cooking Light recipe and was really good if anyone is interested.
