If I start listing off ingredients like maple syrup, cinnamon, and butter, what probably first pops into your mind is pancakes. (Mmm. Pancakes.) That's the case with me, anyway. Those three components could clearly contribute great things to any number of dishes, am I right? This time, I chose to use their magic on butternut squarsh.
Yes, squarsh.
Process:
1) Wash, peel, deseed, destring-ify, and dice. The peeling is by far the most difficult part, and it's not that bad. Think of it as a pre-treat workout. Here's a quick tutorial.
2) Evenly coat the diced squarsh with a blessed mixture of melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to taste.
3) Roast at 350F or so for around 30 minutes, or until the goodies are fork-tender.
What a treat this is. Would I rather have pancakes? Maybe. Probably. The point is, if you haven't tried this slimy, satisfying, and yes, scrumtrulescent squash preparation, you must do so posthaste! Posthaste, I say!

I am so bad at peeling squash that most of the time I will buy it peeled and diced... But I can work on the melted butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon mix over it!
Squarrrsh!!! Mmmmm this is my fav veggie. and yes I make lots of sweet slime too. and with the leftovers I make butternut gnocchi.
your comment on my blog: I love to deep fry my kitten tenders on one day then serve them up for the rest of the week. I am so stressed for time these days.
Yum. I love butternut squash. Slather it in butter and syrup, sure, why not. Sounds delicious.
We've never been big squash eaters in my house, but you sure make this look tempting! I'm sure my son would love it considering it's covered in sweet slime!
Grace, sometimes it's the simpler things in life that taste so good. You have just posted one of those things. Bravo!
Adding cinnamon is a great idea! I love squash with maple syrup.
Mighty scrumptious!!!
Cheers,
Rosa
Dude I have a squarsh on my counter and I am adding chopped pecans! Great idea!
Absolutely perfect, Grace. Maple syrup and cinnamon are just right to team up with squash. My grandmother used to dump maple syrup in acorn squash and bake it. Delish! But I think roasting brings out more flavor and cinnamon would add a little touch of spice. Will try this one next week.
Okay, Grace, you aren't doing your squash any favors by calling it names! Slimy just isn't a good word to use in the kitchen. LOL
Major Yummy! I LOVE butternut squash and this simple dish is just perfect... no other food needed- I can make a meal out of this maple and cinnamon adorned squash!
LOL, okay, okay!

Look REALLY delicious! love it!! gloria
awesome shot! Love everything about this!
Posthaste. Who says that? That's why I love you. I declare to use that word at least five times in normal conversation today (my five-year old won't know what I'm talking about). And I also declare to make this squash. Yum.
I love roasted butternut squash, olive oil salt and pepper, roasted until it caramelizes, yum. Maple syrup and cinnamon would make it... dessert, double yum.

This sounds absolutely divine. I bet it would be great with Thanksgiving dinner, instead of my normal candied yams!
All those things sound like they'd be perfect with butternut squash!
Hehe if you named those three ingredients I think the first thing I'd think of is you Grace! :D
Mmmmm mmmmm. I'll bet this would work on the pumpkins I am trying to eat up, too. Thank you!
That is a very good thing to do to squash! Sounds very scrumtrulicious.
Sweet slime is good. Very good.
That is southern for sure!
Yum-my~
Oh yum! My mom used to roast squash and cover it with brown sugar for us when we were growing up ... a delicious food memory I need to recreate.
Love visiting you Grace, I always learn a new word. I shall attempt to use "scrumtrulescence" in a sentence today (if I work out how to pronounce it). I use my super strong vege peeler on squash - too scared my knife will slip.
Hehe squarsh. It certainly is a workout getting those suckers ready to cook, but so worth it!
Yum and thanks for the prepping demo.
I love squash but haven't tried it prepared sweetly yet, I'll definitely have to do so soon because it sounds awesome with all that butter and maple syrup!
You should make butternut squash pancakes! Mmm. Do it do it do it do it.
I love butternut squash.
Perfect. I love butternut squash and of course I expect yours to have cinnamon.
Sounds like a terrific yummy butternut squash preparation! I like to get my squash at Wegmans prepped already, so much easier :)
Another stellar recipe coming from you, Grace! This would be perfect to try on the family this Fall. Wish me luck.
Too sweet for my tooth. Butternut squash is one of those foods that I think should be more savory, but is just so sweet. Maybe I should just learn to accept it as it is. Heh heh. But I know the men-folk in my life would run circles to eat this dish. (And really, when has anyone gone wrong with maple syrup, butter, and cinnamon? I'm pretty sure the answer is NEVER)
Syrup, cinnamon, butter, brown sugar and chopped walnuts make butternut squash soooo perfect!
I'm so glad that I grew up enough to love squarsh...cuz I wasn't born that way. This looks soo good....gotta love the slime. Pour on the slime!!
I adore butternut squash! I wonder if you could mash the squash and add it to the pancake mixture, I might try that!!
PS.I think you are as mad on cinnamon, as I am on chillies!
Yum! The squash is rather abundant right now so this recipe will come in handy!
Nope I would rather have this deliciuos looking squash you have made over pancakes! I have been a squash hound as of late.
Now I'm hungry!
Mmmmm, syrup, butter and cinnamon... the best way to eat a vegetable I think!!! :)
This was also a lesson in the pronunciation of many words, HA! All sounds delish Miss Grace.
Squarsh; scrumtulescence; I have half a mind to start supercalifragelistic...
Yum! Yum! Yum! I say! ;) I have not been able to find squash at my local markets as of late. I know they are out there hiding somewhere I just have been unable to find them. If I do, I am going to try this! Who wouldn't love slime? :)
I can't get enough fall squash! Love this!
I'll bet I can even get my kids and husband to eat this! They generally steer clear of "weird" vegetables (for example, anything that is not corn or broccoli), but this might just win them over!
Real spiderwebs are not cute, but icing ones are quite tasty!
I have one on the counter right now taunting me. This would be a good way to use it!
Interesting - I'm waiting on butternut squash to ripen in mom's garden...hopefully soon :)
that is the yummiest slime i've ever seen :)
Oh! What a simple way to cook squash, I have to try it, looks delicious...
I hate peel squash I am so bad at it. But , I love squash and love the way that you cook it, looks delicious
Oh yes, that would have to taste wonderful! One of the best things about fall is squash in all its glorious variety.
Plus with squash you can roast the seeds for snacks! Nicely done and love it!
that sounds so good! I just roasted some delicata and wish that I had used something sweet... it was missing an essential flavor, and I think that's it!
My Mother used to take acorn squash put a pat of butter in one half, a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar, a pinch of salt and then roast them in the oven. Oh I loved them.
