Crystal Margarine Recipes
Prep: 10 min
Servings: 4-6 servings
If you like butternut squash, then you’ll love delicata squash! The soft-skinned delicata is easy to prepare, with a rich taste and creamy texture. Caramelizing delicata squash brings out the incredible sweetness making this dish almost as indulgent as a dessert. A bit of savoury seasoning rounds out the flavour profile, and chopped hazelnuts adds a little bit of crunch. Fall dinners were made for sides like this!

ingredients
Caramelized Delicata Squash with Hazelnuts
2 medium
delicata squash
3 tbsp
Crystal Margarine, divided
1 tbsp
maple syrup
1 clove
garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp
cinnamon
1/2 tsp
freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup
hazelnuts, chopped
directions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Carefully halve each squash lengthwise down the centre, remove seeds and then cut into ½ inch slices. Place in a large bowl.
Melt 2 tbsp of Crystal Margarine in the microwave, stir in maple syrup, garlic, and cinnamon. Pour over squash and toss to coat. Spread onto prepared baking sheet, place in oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender and golden. Transfer to serving platter and keep warm.
Melt remaining margarine in a small pan over high heat. Cook until it just starts to brown, about 30 seconds. Stir in hazelnuts and cook for 10 seconds. Remove from heat and drizzle over cooked squash. Serve immediately.
Chef’s Notes:
- If you can’t find delicata squash use butternut squash in its place.
- Use a small spoon to easily remove seeds from squash.
