Roasted Squash Compote Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine squash, olive oil, garlic, and 1 pinch salt in a bowl; mix well. Place in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is soft, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on size of cubes.
• Combine panko with thyme, salt and pepper to taste, and butter. Distribute panko-butter mixture evenly on top of squash. Bake until topping is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Trim both ends off the squash and remove the skin with a vegetable peeler. Cut the squash in half lengthwise with a large, sharp knife. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the squash halves crosswise into 1-inch thick half-moons, then dice into 1-inch pieces. (A 3-pound squash will yield about 7 cups.)
• Place the diced squash, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the squash in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the squash is lightly browned and tender, turning once with a metal spatula.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 3 cookie sheets. Spread the squash evenly on the cookie sheets. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until nearly soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly. Melt the 2 tablespoons butter. Add the orange zest, rosemary and chili pepper flakes. Toss with the squash. Serve as a side dish, or use in the squash bisque below.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Trim the ends from the squash, and cut each squash in half lengthwise. Cut the halves in half again crosswise, to make 4 pieces; cut those pieces in half twice more the long way, to make 16 short spears from each squash. Toss the squash with olive oil and garlic in a bowl; place into a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Roast the squash until the spears and garlic start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Check the squash after 5 minutes, and add time in 2- to 3-minute intervals to avoid burning.
