Ingredients

1 medium butternut squash, or other winter squash (about 1-1/2 pounds), rinsed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel the squash if desired. Halve the squash and scoop out and discard the seeds and strings. Cut into 1-inch wedges.

Brush a roasting pan lightly with some of the butter. In a medium bowl, toss the squash with the remaining butter and season with the salt. Spread out on the pan and roast for about 30 minutes. Turn the wedges over with a pancake-style spatula and continue to roast until tender and browned, about 30 minutes more. Transfer the squash to an ovenproof serving dish, season with pepper to taste and sprinkle with the cheese, while still hot, to melt slightly (if needed, return the squash to the oven to melt the cheese). Serve.

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The butternut squash was golden brown, crispy, and sweet. I topped with the cheese and added chopped walnuts (per someone's... suggestion) then put it under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top. It was incredible and I will definitely make it again.Read more

Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wow,this was great. The sweet butternut squash and the gorgonzola cheese - what a great combination. If you like both of... these ingredients - you will love this dish. This is the first recipe I've ever rated - I had to rate this to offset the person who gave this a lower rating and by the comments it was obvious they didn't even try the recipe. Try this - an easy, elegant way to serve squash!Read more

Simple and Tasty

I really liked this recipe. I tried it with the gorgonzola cheese and without it. Personally I liked it without it...but it... was still tasty with it. I would recommend trying this dish!Read more

Excellent....great side for fish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very easy and browned beautifully. I used Blue Cheese b/c I had some...used less as it's stronger. I didn't peel all the... skin and it crisped in the oven and made a nice texture. The only problem was it was so good we ate too much. Next time I may add some chopped pecans or walnuts.Read more
