Roasted Squash with Maple-Ginger Glaze

Ingredients:

– 2 1/2 pounds delicata quash, cut into 1/2 inch wide rings, seeds removed.

– olive oil

– Kosher salt

– freshly ground black pepper

– 2 tablespoons butter

– 1/4 cup maple syrup

– Juice and zest of one small lemon

– 2 inche knob of ginger, grated

– 2-3 tablespoons water

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Arrange squash pieces on a baking dish in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until squash is nicely browned and tender.

3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Let butter brown a little, then add maple syrup, lemon zest, and ginger. Mix well. Stir in water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce loosens a little. Remove from heat and add lemon juice.

4. You can puree the glaze if desired for a smoother consistency, or leave with lemon zest and ginger threads for texture.

5. Serve squash with a drizzle of glaze on top.
