This is one of the best candied butternut squash recipes I’ve come across to date. It cooks up real nice! You are absolutely going to fall in love with this recipe.
Check out what my pals over at Group Recipes had to say about this recipe:
This is a recipe I made up for the holidays many years ago.. I liked candied sweet potatoes and my husband didn’t. I didn’t want to make them just for myself, I tried to come up with something we would both like. I can’t give you exact amounts, it depends on the size of your pan and the number of people you are serving.. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my family does.
I can gladly report that my husband gobbled up these candied butternut squash morsels like a champ 🙂
Ingredients
butternut squash- long or fat necked
Domino light brown sugar
Land O Lakes butter
walnuts, coarsely chopped
Jet-Puffed miniature marshmallows… I use Kraft Jet Puffed. they have a slight vanilla flavor
Instructions
cut the neck of the squash starting at the stem end cutting 1 inch slices.
cut down to the seed cavity. don’t cut any further.. save this part of the squash to make another meal (maybe stuffed squash)
stack the slices and cut off the rind
cut each round into 1 inch squares or as close as possible
fill an ungreased roasting pan.. (I use an open roaster) with a single layer of squash as tightly as they will fit
next add as many walnuts as you like ( I add lots)
next sprinkle with lots of brown sugar..I fill all the crevices and a lot on the top..but not so much as to cover the squash
then dot the top with butter… I add approx teaspoon every 2-3 inches
add a small amount of water to the bottom of the pan (couple of TBSP depending on the size of the pan) cover pan with foil
put in a 350’F oven for approx 45 mins maybe a little longer. you want the squash to be almost cooked but not quite.
next cover the top of the squash with a thick layer of marshmallows
cover the top back up with the foil. let the marshmallows puff up and then dissolve into the squash.. 10 mins or so..
this took longer to explain than it does to do.. It’s really a very easy recipe.. adjust amounts of sugar and nuts to your taste.
