Serves 6

  • 1 butternut squash, peeled, halved lengthwise and seeded

  • 1 kabocha squash, peeled, halved and seeded

  • 3 T olive oil

  • 1⁄2 t kosher salt

  • Black pepper

  • 4 T butter (or use olive oil if vegan)

  • 1 t chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 t chopped fresh sage leaves

  • 1 t chopped fresh thyme leaves

  • 1⁄8 t smoked paprika

  • 1⁄8 t crushed red pepper flakes

  • Chopped herbs for garnish (parsley, thyme, sage)

Preheat oven to 425.

Cut both squashes crosswise into 1⁄2” slices. Place slices on a sheet pan lined with parchment. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and beginning to brown. Remove from the oven and transfer squash to a serving platter.

In a medium sauté pan, melt butter and add herbs, paprika, red pepper flakes, a little salt and pepper. Cook until the butter begins to brown and give off a nutty aroma, occasionally swirling the pan. Remove from the heat. Spoon over the squash, sprinkle some more herbs on top and serve.
