1cupvegetable broth
Instructions
Prep: Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
Fry: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Then, add the cubed butternut. Fry for 5-7 mins, or until deep golden brown, then flip and fry on the other side. Add the salt, garlic and onion powder.
Bake: Transfer the fried butternut squash to a baking dish. Pour the vegetable stock into it and add the thyme. Make sure to add enough vegetable stock to barely cover them (a few bits sticking out the top are fine). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake unvocvered for about 40-45 minutes or until the butternut squash comes out crispy and golden brown.
Serve: Place the squash on a serving platter. Garnish with more thyme. Make sure to let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Olive oil can be substituted with any other oil of your personal preference.
If you own an oven-proof skillet (such as a cast-iron skillet), you can transfer it to the oven straight away and skip the step with the additional baking dish.
