If you’re looking for a stand-out Thanksgiving side dish or even vegetarian main dish Thanksgiving recipe, look no further than this Hasselback Butternut Squash with Maple Miso Butter! <\/strong>Butternut squash is halved and cut cross-wise but not all the way through. It’s brushed with a slightly sweet and savory, umami-packed maple miso butter while roasting. The sauce seeps into each of those crevices and results in endless caramelized, gorgeous edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve had hasselback potatoes<\/a>. But have you hasselbacked (can I make that a verb?)<\/em> any other veggies? It works so well with butternut squash!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasselback is when you slice something crosswise, but not all the way through<\/strong>, before roasting. That way, any flavors, oils, or sauces you are adding can seep into each crack, enhancing the flavor and increasing the surface area being roasted and exposed to the hot oven air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hasselback butternut squash is absolutely delicious, easy to make, and not too sweet. I find butternut squash recipes often are overly sugary; the salty, umami flavor of the miso in this recipe helps balance the natural sweetness of the squash along with a little bit of maple syrup (though you can always add more sweetness if that’s what you prefer!).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re going to love this easy recipe, perfect for Thanksgiving or your holiday table, but easy enough for any old night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
