Ingredients for Gordon Ramsay’s Butternut Squash Recipe

    • 1 medium butternut squash

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Instructions: How to Cook Butternut Squash Like Gordon Ramsay Step 1: Prepare the Butternut Squash

Start by washing and peeling the butternut squash. Cut off both ends, then slice the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon and discard them. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes or leave it halved if roasting.

Step 2: Season the Squash

Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss the squash to ensure it is evenly coated with the oil and spices.

Step 3: Roast the Squash

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the butternut squash for about 25-30 minutes, or until it is tender and golden brown. If you prefer a caramelized exterior, turn the squash halfway through roasting.

Step 4: Optional Puree or Soup (Optional)

If you’re aiming for a smooth, velvety texture, you can puree the roasted butternut squash. Once the squash is roasted and cooled slightly, transfer it to a blender or food processor, adding vegetable broth or chicken stock to help blend it into a smooth consistency. You can also make a creamy soup by simmering the pureed squash with extra broth and seasoning to taste.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Once the squash is cooked and pureed (if desired), transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh herbs such as thyme or parsley for an added touch of flavor and color. Serve as a side dish or enjoy as a main course!

Notes

Notes for Perfect Butternut Squash

    • Roasting Tip: To achieve the perfect roasted butternut squash, ensure the pieces are evenly spaced on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will cause the squash to steam rather than roast.

    • Storage: Leftover roasted butternut squash can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can be reheated in the microwave or oven.

    • Spices: Experiment with different spices! If you prefer a spicier kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.

    • Soup Version: If you prefer a silky smooth butternut squash soup, use more broth, and add a splash of cream for extra richness.
