Roasted Butternut Squash with Moroccan Spices

July 15th, 2010 Print

Spiced cubes of butternut squash are a healthful alternative to potatoes. The spice mix will be enough for more than one squash, so you can save it in a Ziploc for another day or else start with two squashes… These will get nibbled away really fast!

Ingredients:

1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1″ cubes (about 6 cups)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Spice Mix-
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ginger

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Peel the butternut squash and cut into 1 inch cubes. Put squash in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and half of the spice mixture.
  2. Spread in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast for 40-50 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes. Squash is done when its soft and browned on the edges.

Parve. Serves 4.

      I wouldn’t freeze it. My system is to make ahead and freeze the meats kugels and cakes and save the veggie dishes for the day of or one day before and refrigerate.
