Orange-Glazed Butternut Squash

Cooking the squash in a nonstick skillet gives it a caramelized crust that heightens its sweetness, which in turn is complemented by a light glaze of orange.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 2/3 cup per serving

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/4 pounds butternut squash, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons all-fruit orange marmalade
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the squash, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

    Step 2

    Stir in the orange juice, marmalade, and salt. Cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes, or until most of the liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally.

    Step 3

    If you can’t find either bags of precut peeled squash chunks or a small enough single piece of precut squash, buy a whole squash, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out and discard the seeds. Peel it and cut it into 3/4-inch pieces. Be sure your knife is sharp and be very careful when halving the squash—the skin is quite hard.
