Roasted Spaghetti Squash With Brown Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Brush both sides of the squash with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place cut-side up in a baking pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to roast until tender, about 35 minutes more. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Use a fork to scrape the squash flesh into a large bowl and toss with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• With a sharp knife, carefully cut about four 1/2-inch slits in the squash to allow steam to escape while it cooks. Put the squash on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Let the squash cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, with a fork, mash the butter, curry powder, shallots, cilantro, salt, lemon zest and pepper to taste until well combined.
• Cut the squash in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. With a large fork, pull the squash fibers away from the outer peel (use a towel to hold the squash in place if necessary). Transfer the warm squash to a serving bowl and top with the curry butter. Toss until the butter is melted and evenly mixed. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm with the pine nuts scattered on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle squash flesh with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast until squash is tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.
• When cool enough to handle, gently scrape squash with a fork to remove flesh in long strands and transfer to a medium bowl. Toss with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt and red-pepper flakes and serve sprinkled with cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. With a serrated knife, remove stems so squash will stand upright. Sprinkle squash with salt and pepper and place cut side down on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until translucent and flesh pulls away from skin, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Using a fork, separate flesh into strands, reserving squash shells. Transfer strands to a large bowl.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until milk solids are dark golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add squash, 2 tablespoons parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently with tongs or a fork, to coat with butter. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Spoon 1 tablespoon of ricotta cheese into each reserved squash shell. Divide squash mixture into each squash shell. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the squash on a flat surface, then split in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Cut each piece in half, lengthwise, to form 4 wedges. Arrange in a single layer on 1 or 2 baking sheets.
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, add the butter. Wait until the butter starts to turn a light brown color. Remove from the heat and immediately pour half of the butter over the squash sections. Reserve the rest of the butter. Sprinkle the squash with the brown sugar and molasses and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Finish by sprinkling the ground (dry) ginger, fresh grated ginger, cinnamon and the ground cloves. Squeeze the orange juice over the squash. Fill the bottom of the baking sheet(s) with about 1-inch of water to create steam while the squash bakes in the oven. Cover the baking sheets with aluminum foil and seal the edges tightly.
• Put the tray in the center of the oven and bake, undisturbed, for 30 to 45 minutes. To check for doneness, pierce 1 squash section with the tip of a small knife. The knife should slide in and out easily. When the squash is tender, remove the pan from the oven and carefully peel back the foil. Drizzle with the remaining butter and set aside to cool. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Arrange a rack at the bottom of the oven and heat to 425 degrees. Slice the squash 1/2-inch-thick crosswise. (No need to peel.) Cut slices in half, if desired, to make half moons. Remove the seeds from the squash with a spoon and discard.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast on the bottom rack until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Flip and roast until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes.
• After you flip the squash, make the brown butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vinegar and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside on the stovetop until the squash is ready. (The heat from the oven keeps the butter from hardening.)
• Dip a piece of squash into the vinaigrette, try it, and adjust vinegar, salt and red-pepper flakes to taste. Spoon the vinaigrette over the squash and top with mint leaves, if using, and flaky salt.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Generously spread the softened butter over the flesh of the squash; lie in the prepared baking dish with the cut sides facing down.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip the squash and put about half the butter and about half the brown sugar in each of the cavities of the squash halves. Return to the oven until the outer shell is soft, about 10 minutes more. Spoon the flesh of the squash into a bowl to serve.
