Butter Recipe ∘ Roasted Acorn Squash with Sriracha Butter

Roasting acorn squash brings out its natural sweetness. Topped with Sriracha butter takes it to the next level.

Ingredients

• 1 (2 pound) acorn squash
• 0.25 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the squash in half vertically, and scoop out the seeds in the middle. Cut each half into 4 wedges and place wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in Sriracha sauce and honey; keep warm.
4. Brush squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place wedges on their side and roast for 20 minutes; flip wedges over and roast until squash is soft and edges are caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Place wedges on a serving platter and drizzle with Sriracha butter.
