Roasted Buttercup Squash
The secret here is baking the squash cut-side down in a shallow water bath first. This creates steam, ensuring the dense flesh becomes incredibly tender before it even sees a glaze. Once softened, you'll flip the quarters and fill the cavities with butter, salt, and black pepper for a rich, savory finish. It makes a wonderful side for hearty cold-weather meals like roasted meats or stews. The bright orange flesh offers a creamy texture and a sweet, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with cozy autumn dinners.
