Roasted squash with herb oil

January 10, 2019 by AnotherFoodBlogger 40 Comments

*DISCLOSURE: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS.

Roasted squash is the perfect side dish to any dinner with family & friends.  Roasting it whole just makes things a lot easier.  Just add some grilled meat and a salad and you will be eating a whole load of happiness – trust me!


Herb roasted squash

Cooking a vegetable whole – that’s the latest “cool” thing isn’t it? Or has it already passed me by!

I’ve had this squash in the fridge for a couple days now as the original plans to use it went out the window.  So, I figured I’d use a little of the staples in my pantry and whip up this delicious roasted squash dish.  This recipe incorporates classic flavors and reminds me of a dish I had years ago in Little Creatures in Melbourne.  In fact I think it was one of the first times I had eaten whole squash roasted, smashed up and topped with goats cheese as a dip.  It rocked!  Truthfully, I have eaten roasted squash and goats cheese 100’s of times but this was the first time I remember thinking “this kicks ass”.  To this day my wife and we still reminisce on drinking moscato, playing jenga and eating delicious crusty bread topped with the perfect squash dip.

Squash is something I tend to use quite a bit when cooking at home, it’s super versatile and lends itself to many different ways of cooking – soup, as a purée, roasted whole, roasted in wedges, smoked the list goes on and am yet to be disappointed.

Making a dish like this or a variation of it couldn’t be any easier.  The basic principles are, cut the squash in 1/2 and then slice in a criss cross fashion as if you were scoring the skin of pork belly.  This allows the heat to penetrate the interior of the squash.  Next, just give her a good rub (in oil), season and pop her in the oven and let her slowly roast.  The flavour you get from roasting it slowly is so darn good.  More importantly it allows the squash to cook evenly without burning.  If you want to crisp up the edges for some caramelization then bang the heat up for the last 5-8 mins and you will get some beaut colour!!

Serve this as a side dish with some grilled meat and a delicious green salad and trust me when I say you won’t be disappointed.  Don’t forget to subscribe to follow me on my journey and check me out on Instagram too.

Happy Eating!!

      Thanks Renate – I’m originally Irish so I know all about those colder days! It’s so simple to make and you can add different herb variations, cheese, bacon, spring onion etc to it. Now, off to the shops and grab yourself a squash 😜
