Hasselback butternut squash layered with apples and herbs. A beautiful, flavorful fall side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash
- 2 Autumn Glory Apples
- Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs
- salt and ground pepper
- olive oil
Directions
- Preheat to 425°F.
- Core and thinly slice the apples.
- Halve squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds with a large spoon. Using a peeler, remove the skin. Place both halves face down on an oiled baking sheet. Create a Hasselback on the squash by making slices across each half but not cutting all the way through. Just enough to insert slices of Autumn Glory apple into every other slice.
- Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. If you like a kick, you can add a touch of cayenne too! Arrange the fresh herbs on the tray for beautiful aromatics, then bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a fork meets no resistance.
