Annie sent over this recipe as a suggestion for a great side dish that was sure to be a family pleaser... and it certainly was!!! I will definitely be making this often. We served this with some grilled steaks and grilled onion (BBQ season is in full force after all). In fact the roasted garlic made an excellent spread for the grilled steaks! So delicious... thank you Annie!
Keep up the great work, Annie... we're headed to the Games! :-)
Ingredients:
1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 bulb garlic, separated but not peeled
2 oz. pancetta, thinly sliced and chopped
Fresh sage leaves, about 16, whole
2-1/2 T olive oil
2-1/2 T 100% maple syrup, organic
Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Recipe:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel, seed and cube butternut squash (about 3/4 inch cubes). Place in a baking dish or roasting pan with the whole head of garlic (separated, but not peeled). Toss with olive oil, maple syrup and salt and pepper. Bake for 20-30 minutes (until squash begins to brown... turning once). Sprinkle chopped pancetta and scatter the sage leaves evenly over the squash. Continue to bake for another 20-30 minutes (until squash and garlic is tender and caramelized). Enjoy the roasted garlic cloves by themselves or spread over your steak or vegetable. Yummy.
