Tips & Tricks (5)
- Squash Prep Perfection 🔪Use a sturdy vegetable peeler to remove the tough skin, and stabilize the squash by cutting a flat base to prevent rolling while cutting.
- Caramelization Magic 🍯For maximum flavor development, spread squash pieces in a single layer with space between them to ensure proper caramelization and avoid steaming.
- Spice Bloom Technique 🌶️Gently warm the pumpkin pie spice with melted butter before tossing with squash to unlock deeper, more complex flavor profiles.
- Sugar Coating Trick 🍂Sprinkle brown sugar towards the end of roasting to prevent burning and create a beautiful caramelized glaze that doesn't turn bitter.
- Perfect Doneness Check 🥄Test squash doneness by piercing with a fork - it should slide in easily with minimal resistance, indicating perfect tender-crisp texture.
