Stuffed Roasted Butternut Squash with Brown Rice
Butternut squash will become so sweet when roasting! Cut in half, and it makes a perfect vehicle for stuffing and its unusual shape gives your dinner table an interesting accent :)
You can substitute butternut squash with other winter squash varieties good for baking. Of course, white rice or other cooked can replace brown rice. Feel free to place with the herbs too.

Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Cut butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds.

With a sharp knife, cut a crisscross pattern into flesh (this helps the heat go through). Season well with salt and pepper.

Dot with pieces of butter and sprinkle on fresh rosemary and thyme leaves.

Place on an oven dish and bake for 45-55 minutes, until getting soft and slightly brown. If it starts to get too brown halfway through, cover lightly with a piece of aluminum foil.

While squash is baking, prepare the rice and leek stuffing. Thinly slice 1 leek/onion and mince 1 garlic clove.

Grind fennel seeds if you have a grinder/mortar and pestle. If not, leave whole.

In a fry pan, melt 1 Tbsp butter and fry leek, garlic and fennel on medium until soft and slightly brown.

I added spices as an accent so I could enjoy a homemade rich and creamy butternut squash soup. It goes well with a piece of bread with dried fruits or pain d'épices.If you blend the ingredients in the blender a little longer so as to grind the spices the soup will be smooth!Substitute the milk with heavy cream and you will have restaurant quality taste!

Once I came across a video of food writer Julia Moskin preparing this dish. It has been my favorite way to prepare butternut squash ever since. It can be an appetizer or a side dish. It can be served warm or at room temperature. And the tahini sauce works well with other roasted vegetables.#butternut #squash #red #onions #tahini #Israeli #vegetarian #vegan #appetizer #side #dish

Roasted Winter Squash with Cinnamon and Nutmeg Roasted Winter Squash with Cinnamon and Nutmeg
One of my favorite ways to prepare sweeter squashes like kabocha and butternut is oven roasting because it brings out their sweetness and is soooo delicious! I just got a big kabocha squash from my garden so I tried roasting with cinnamon and nutmeg since those spices are a nice complement to squash. The touch of cayenne gives it a little bite but is optional :)Besides kabocha and butternut, squashes like acorn, delicata or anything on the sweet end would work well.

We tweaked this recipe by Half Baked Harvest by roasting the butternut squash bottoms and serving the soup in them. The extra step goes a long way in the presentation, and it's fun scooping the butternut squash right off the sides of your bowl! #12plates

Baked Butternut Squash Samosas Baked Butternut Squash Samosas
Another one for my Butternut Squash series ;) Samosas are often made with potatoes but I tried it with butternut squash instead! I also find baking samosas instead of frying is much easier and they turn out less oily.There are a lot of spices in here but if you don't have them all, don't worry. It will still taste good if you leave something out or you could even replace with curry powder or something else you like.Makes 8 samosas.
