Ingredients
- 1 medium buttercup squash (about 2 pounds), stemmed, seeded and cut into 1-inch wedges
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
Instructions
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Toss the squash with the butter, sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on a rimmed baking sheet until completely coated. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until the squash is just tender and beginning to brown on the edges, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the squash from the oven, sprinkle with the sage and toss to coat. Continue to roast until the squash is tender and browned all over, about 10 minutes more.
