ingredients
Squash Gratin
4 tbsp
Crystal Margarine, divded
1
large onion, sliced
1 cup
fresh breadcrumbs or panko
1/3 cup
grated Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano
to taste
kosher salt
to taste
freshly ground black pepper
3-4 cups
squash, peeled, seeded, up into 1/2"c cubes (1 large butternut or 2 large acorn squash)
directions
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Heat 2 tbsp Crystal Margarine in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and starting to caramelize, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss squash with onions and place the skillet in pre-heated oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss breadcrumbs with cheese and remaining 2 tbsp Crystal Margarine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top squash and onion with breadcrumb mixture and return to oven.
- Turn down oven to 350° F. Bake until squash is tender and breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Chef’s Notes:
- Really allow the onions to caramelize at a slow pace, if you don’t have the time to, just sauté the onions until they are soft.
- This recipe works with summer squash or zucchini as well. Combine squash or zucchini with caramelized onions and immediately top with breadcrumb mixture. Bake at 400º F for 20 to 25 minutes.
