Sauteed Butternut Squash
This simple sauteed butternut squash is subtly sweet and easy to make! It's caramelized in a hot skillet then kissed with maple syrup and butter.
Equipment
- Large nonstick skillet
Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed butternut squash, about ¾ inch
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butternut squash to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. It should soften some and caramelize slightly.
- Add the butter, maple syrup, salt, and thyme to the skillet. Cook until deeply caramelized, stirring as needed, for about 3 more minutes.
- Transfer the cooked squash to a plate and serve immediately.
