Roasted Butternut Squash with Brown Butter and Sage
You can steam butternut squash on top of the stove, but the result doesn’t hold a candle to thick chunks of squash that have been roasted until caramelized and meltingly tender. When cloaked with nutty brown butter and crispy fried sage, it brings up visions of autumn. This scrumptious squash is excellent alongside pork.
