STICKY SAGE ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH
Roasted squash can be served as a side for special holiday meals or alongside a weekend family roast. Golden syrup has a wonderful, complex flavor and is worth sourcing it to use in this recipe. It’s also perfect for baking. I buy golden syrup on Amazon and will include the link in my post but some grocery stores sell it either in a squeeze bottle or in small tin cans.

Ingredients
- 3 lbs butternut squash with skin, cut into wedges and seeds removed
- 1 small bunch sage, leaves picked off
- 2 garlic bulbs, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup or dark brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the squash, sage leaves, garlic, oil, salt and pepper together on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
- While the squash is roasting, melt the butter with the golden syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted.
- Remove the squash from the oven, drizzle with the butter mixture and carefully toss to coat the squash. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until the squash is tender and caramelized. Either discard the garlic or squeeze the cloves from the garlic bulb halves to serve with the squash, discarding the papery outside.
