Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 ball of burrata cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 8–10 fresh sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Fresh arugula or microgreens, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Butternut Squash
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cubed butternut squash on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat the squash evenly.
- Roast the squash for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and fork-tender. Turn the pieces halfway through for even roasting.
Step 2: Prepare the Hazelnut Sage Brown Butter
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter begins to foam, add the chopped hazelnuts and sage leaves.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a light golden brown and smells nutty. Be careful not to burn it—this should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the hazelnuts are toasted and the sage leaves are crispy, remove the pan from heat. Stir in the lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
Step 3: Plate the Dish
- Transfer the roasted butternut squash to a serving platter.
- Tear the burrata gently and place it over the roasted squash.
- Drizzle the warm hazelnut sage brown butter over the squash and burrata.
Step 4: Add Finishing Touches
- If desired, drizzle a bit of honey over the top for a touch of sweetness.
- Garnish with fresh arugula or microgreens for a pop of color and freshness.
