Serves 4
Ingredients
Roasted butternut squash tossed with Ethiopian Berbere Seasoning in the Adventure Kitchen. Yum!
1 medium butternut squash (about 1.5 lbs) cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons peanut oil or unflavored high-heat oil of your choice
1 tablespoon Ethiopian Berbere Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon granulated onions
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (or half this amount if using table salt)
Instructions
1. Move the rack to the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees.
2. Toss the squash with the oil, then add the spices and toss again to combine evenly. Distribute the squash cubes in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and slide into the oven. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the cubes can be fairly easily pierced with a fork.
3. Turn the broiler on and move the rack to the highest level. Broil for 5 minutes, or until you see some nice charring beginning to develop.
