Roasted Calabaza

About the Recipe

Ingredients

Calabaza is mildly sweet and can be used in place of butternut squash.
The skin ranges in color from green to beige or light red-orange.
This pairs well with butter, cinnamon, and sausage.

Directions

Preheat oven to 475°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
Seed and peel calabaza, then cut into ¾-inch-wide pieces (about 3 inches long).
Toss with oil, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper, then divide between two large shallow, heavy baking pans and spread in 1 layer.
Roast calabaza for 35 to 45 minutes until tender and beginning to caramelize. Halfway through, switch positions of pans and turn over calabaza.
