Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Apple cider
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 6 whole Fresh sage leaves
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
Instructions
Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the cubed squash to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. Stir to coat the squash evenly with the butter and oil.
Cook the squash for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to turn golden and soften slightly.
Add the apple cider, honey, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Tuck the sage leaves among the squash cubes so they can infuse their flavor into the glaze.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the squash simmer for 10-12 minutes until the cubes are tender and the liquid has thickened into a glaze.
Remove the sage leaves before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
