Ingredients
- 1 winter squash, about 2 lbs, preferably smooth skinned (butternut, delicata, etc)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, or more, to taste (optional; omit if squash is very sweet)
- salt and pepper
Cutting the raw squash into small cubes reduces the cooking time while maintaining the rich taste
of baked squash.
Directions
- Cut squash in half, lengthwise, and remove seeds and stringy pulp. Then cut crosswise
into large chunks. (The chunks are easier to peel than a whole squash.) Peel and cut squash
meat into 1/2-inch cubes.
Over medium heat, melt butter in a large skillet. When hot, add
squash cubes in a single layer and cook without stirring for about 5 minutes, to brown the bottom
sides. Stir to turn cubes and cook another 5 minutes. Sprinkle on brown sugar, if using, stir to
mix well, and cook 5 minutes or until squash is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
TIP: Roasted squash seeds make a nutritious and tasty snack. For roasting
