GOOD TO KNOW Sweet-tasting butternut squash is easier to prepare than some other hard-skinned winter squashes, and is even sweeter when roasted until it caramelizes. It’s also extremely versatile: Toss it into a salad, slice it into “fries” and dust with spices, or drizzle roasted haves with maple butter.

　　

Ingredients

serves 4

　　1 medium butternut squash, halved lengthwise, seeded, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch-wide sticks

　　2 teaspoons olive oil

　　1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

　　Coarse salt and ground pepper

　　1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

　　1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

　　

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine squash with oil and cumin; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread in a single layer. Roast until tender when pierced with a knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro and serve immediately.
