Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Butternut squash -; (to 2 1/2 lbs)
¼ cup Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher or coarse sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon Herbes de provence; see * Note
½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

* Note: A mixture of 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon dried thyme and 1 teaspoon dried marjoram may be substituted for the herbes de provence.

Cut each squash in half lengthwise and scoop out and discard seeds and string. Brush cut surface with olive oil and season with salt, white pepper, herbes de provence and red pepper flakes. Place squash cut-side down on grill and roast over medium-low heat, brushing several times with olive oil and turning occasionally, until browned and tender when pierced with skewer or knife, 50 to 60 minutes. Or place squash cut-side down in shallow pan with plenty of space between each piece and roast at 400 degrees until tender, about 40 minutes. Melt honey and drizzle over cut surface of squash if not sweet enough. Cut into thick slices. Yields 8 servings.
