Roasted Butternut with Black Garlic and Miso

October 15, 2014 by Sylvia Fountaine 6 Comments

Savory roasted butternut squash gets a little boost of flavor from fermented black garlic and miso paste. An easy fall side dish, this recipe is vegan and gluten free. Black garlic and miso infuse the roasted squash with deep umami flavor while giving it a slight, unexpected sweetness. Black garlic, contrary to how it looks, is surprisingly sweet, and the combination is both subtle and delicious.

Black garlic is garlic that has been fermented and can be found locally at Trader Joes.

Either peel and cube the butternut, or if pressed for time, just cut into the squash wedges. With smaller butternuts, I actually eat the skin….this of course is optional.

Make the Black Garlic Miso Paste.

Brush it liberally on the butternut, using it all up. In this case more is better.

Roast the butternut squash in a 400F oven until fork tender….45 minutes to 1 hour for wedges, 30 minutes for cubes.

Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
