    1. Roasted Butternut Squash Filets
    Ingredients:
    1 large butternut squash
    2 tbsp vegan butter
    2 tbsp brown sugar
    Fresh rosemary sprigs
    Salt to taste
    Olive oil for searing
    Instructions:
    Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Roast the Butternut Squash Whole: Place on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes to an hour, or until you can easily insert a skewer or fork into the thickest part.
    Cool and Peel: Once roasted, let the squash cool until you can handle it. Then, peel the skin off the squash.
    Slice into Filets: Cut the neck (meaty part) of the squash into 1-inch thick rounds to create filet-like pieces.
    Pan Sear the Filets: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Place the butternut filets in the pan, season with salt, and sear until golden on both sides.
    Add Vegan Butter and Brown Sugar: Once seared, lower the heat and add vegan butter and brown sugar to the pan. Spoon the butter and sugar over the filets as they cook. Add rosemary sprigs to infuse the dish with a rich aroma.
    Serve: Once caramelized and tender, serve the filets with the buttery glaze and rosemary on top.
    2. Garlic Butternut Spread (No-Oil Butter)
    Ingredients:
    1 cup roasted butternut squash scraps (from step 3 of the filet recipe)
    ½ cup raw cashews
    2 garlic cloves (as more if you like)
    ½ cup water (or olive oil if not avoiding oil)
    Salt to taste
    Instructions:
    Soak Cashews: in hot water for 10-15 minutes, then drain.
    Blend: In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted butternut squash scraps, soaked cashews, garlic, and a pinch of salt.
    Add Water: Gradually add water while blending, starting with ¼ cup, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Add more water as needed.
    Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the salt or garlic to your preference.
    Chill: Once blended, transfer to an airtight container and chill. Use it as a spread on toast, sandwiches, or even as a dip.
    3. Rustic Garlic Bread with Butternut Spread
    Ingredients:
    1 fresh baguette
    Garlic butternut spread (recipe above)
    1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
    Freshly cracked black pepper
    Olive oil (optional)
    Instructions:
    Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    Prepare Baguette: Slice the baguette lengthwise and generously spread the garlic butternut mixture on each half.
    Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley and cracked black pepper over the spread.
    Bake: Place the baguette halves on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the edges are crispy and golden.
    Serve: Slice into smaller pieces and serve as a side dish, snack, or appetizer.
    4. Roasted Butternut Squash Seeds
    Ingredients:
    Seeds from 1-2 butternut squashes, cleaned and rinsed
    1 tbsp olive oil
    ½ tsp smoked paprika
    ½ tsp garlic powder
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Instructions:
    Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Clean the Seeds: Remove as much of the squash flesh from the seeds as possible. Rinse and pat the seeds dry.
    Season the Seeds: In a bowl, toss the seeds with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
    Roast: Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden and crunchy.
    Serve: Let the seeds cool slightly and serve as a snack or salad topping.
    5. Maple Glazed Butternut Brulee'
    Ingredients:
    1 large butternut squash (neck portion)
    2 tbsp vegan butter
    2 tbsp brown sugar
    2 tbsp maple syrup
    1 tbsp vegan yogurt (optional, for garnish)
    Fresh rosemary for garnish
    Instructions:
    Preheat the Pan: over medium heat and add a bit of oil.
    Slice Squash: Slice the neck portion into 1-inch thick medallions.
    Sear the Medallions: In a hot skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden crust.
    Add Butter and Sugar: Lower the heat, add vegan butter, and sprinkle brown sugar on each medallion. Let the sugar melt and form a glaze on the squash.
    Drizzle with Maple Syrup: Once glazed, drizzle maple syrup over each medallion for a rich and sweet finish.
    Garnish: Garnish with a dollop of vegan yogurt and fresh rosemary, or serve them as is.

    • @Jim_L
      @Jim_L 2 месяца назад +5

      I hear you about how difficult squashes are to cut raw. What I do that helps is that I use a potato peeler and fully peel the skins off. It goes real quick. Then, I cut it in half, like Derek does in the video here. I scoop out all the seeds with a spoon. Lastly, I take my time and cut them into cubes. Done. But yeah, those suckers are hard to cut into.

      When I make soups/stews, I leave the skins on. I got the idea from another chef. I was certainly skeptical at first, but I tried it, and I do it all the time now. Those skins, believe it or not, just melt in your mouth after simmering for a while. I leave the skins on with sweet potatoes, too, when making a soup/stew; they, also, will melt in your mouth.

And if that wasn't enough, I made the butternut garlic butter. My husband was hesitant to try it but he's use to me cooking up different foods. He loved it, it is so worth making. Today I'm going to make Derek's vegan Chicken Noodle soup with king oyster mushrooms, vlog from a few years ago. Very excited to try this out.

    Love squash, thanks for showing how to making it easier to work with. Butternut I usually roast it cut up alongside onions then stick blend in a pan adding cashew cream and smoked paprika or a couple of canned chipotle peppers. Much easier the way you cooked it whole so I will give that a try as well as the recipe you shared. My actual favorite squash is acorn and I either bake it with a similar sauce that you made or my actual favorite way and it may sound weird to a lot of people but I love to quarter the acorn squash, remove seeds, add a bit of maple syrup and bake it in with sauerkraut until the sauerkraut and squash melt in your mouth. The combo sounds weird but I enjoy it. Love your channel, thanks for sharing and hugs to Frankie!

    Yum! I love butternut squash for sweet and savory dishes. Such a fabulous recipe for the butternut squash cashew spread and the baked carmel butternut squash! Love it!
    It is a pain to try to separate the seeds from the membrane when they're wet so what works for me is spreading all the seeds and the membrane on a parchment lined baking sheet and letting them dry in a low temp oven or outside if it's warm enough.
    Thank you Chef Derek and beautiful Frankie for another fun and delicious video!
    Wishing you both a wonderful week!
    💚🌱

    Great video, Derek! I just bought two butternut squash, and this is much easier than the way I used to cook them. I also have a blue hubbard squash, which I have never tried before. I am going to try this method. You are awesome, and as usual, Frankie stole the show. Love that girl! 🐾💗🐾

    Hi Derek, I'm always thrilled to see a new cooking video from you! Thank you so much for your inspiration and undefatiguable love for vegan cuisine and sweet Frankie. A while back, I saw someone online roast the seeds with th stringy pulp which carmelizes in the oven to crispy perfection! I have tried it several times and it is my new go to. Sharing with you for selfish reasons, for all the extra time you'll have to cook more amazing vegan food for us!! ❤

    Such a valuable video. I am now a butternut super fan, along with one of yours. They call me "crowd"! The good thing about your recipes is that it can be good for anyone even if they aren't vegan. I am vegan, but I know meat eaters that would love all of your cooking. Thanks for the inspiration and the cuteness overload from Frankie. Can't wait for the next!

    Yum! Going to absolutely try the spread! One of my favorite things in the world is butternut squash gnocchi in brown butter sage sauce. My husband and I usually make a big batch when butternuts are in season and freeze to have all winter long.

    Wonderful once again! I love your videos! I have good success using a wire cheese slicer to remove the skin. The slicer with the wire and the roller in a wishbone shaped handle. And Yes to growing your own herbs. Can be easily done in pots on a balcony even if you don’t have a garden. Thanks for your joy, clever editing and attention to every detail. It is all much appreciated and eagerly devoured! 💜

    Hey Derek, I‘m making the „Butternut Tenderloin“ tonight and came up with a relatively quick way to get the seeds and stringy bits separated: I used a strainer as well, but a less fine one (something you’d use to drain pasta or wash lettuce). I put a bowl under the strainer, dumped the seeds in and ran my hand through them for a minute or two. That way I pushed the flesh through the strainer and was left with the seeds. Quick rinse and done. Bonus: You can use the purée you just made and there is even less waste.
    Thank you so much for the recipe idea. I’m hoping it will turn out well 😬

    Hi Derek, I had to prep a raw sugar pie pumpkin this morning for a pumpkin stew I'm serving for dinner tonight. I took your challenge to find an easier way to get at the pumpkin seeds, and think it will easily work for the butternut squash as well. After peeling it, I cut the pumpkin in half and, with clean hands, reached in and gently tugged out the seeds. In a minute they were out and the stringy flesh remained almost entirely behind. Seeds are drying now and will be roasted later today!

  • @AmandaJYoungs

    Thank you! I think you've taught me more cooking skills than anyone else who makes vegan content. I love butternut squash but haven't found a satisfactory way of cooking it before. Cooking it whole means it will be easier on my hands because it will be softer. I am excited to get onto this - and the vegan butter/garlic bread bit at the end, too! I appreciate the whole approach of minimal waste because I have been bothered for some time by how much food waste I have and need to learn more about that. Thanks again, Derek. Big hugs for Frankie. She's evidently thriving on the butternut squash!

    A tired-out Lab is such a beautiful thing, the languor of their rest is aspirational❤ The recipe is great, and very useful for the holidays, when even we vegans can get into a rut when entertaining. The commercial kitchen tips that work in a home kitchen are likewise very useful. Thanks for posting!
