Description
xOcado Large Roasting Butternut Squash.
Butternut connoisseurs know that the best butternut is the largest fruit with a large neck. This is the Ocado roasting squash, with a proportionally smaller seed cavity, providing more edible flesh. It has a sweet, nutty flavour with a hint of earthiness. Roasting it intensifies the sweetness and brings out a subtle caramelisation, especially on the edges.
It's a fantastic side dish for roast dinners, grilled meats, or fish. Use it as a base for creamy soups or add it to chunky soups for extra sweetness and texture. Incorporate it into pasta sauces or risotto and use as a versatile ingredient for vegetarian and vegan dishes, as its creamy texture and sweetness can add richness and depth. You can also add roasted butternut squash to salads for a flavourful and colourful twist.
Many herbs and spices pair well with butternut including the earthy flavour of sage, fragrant rosemary and the warmth of cinnamon. A drizzle of maple syrup or honey adds extra sweetness and creates a lovely glaze which can be combined with toasted nuts and seeds, like pecans, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds. The tangy flavour of goat cheese contrasts nicely with the sweetness of butternut squash.
