Winter Squash Agrodolce
3.3
(5)
A vinegar-and-chile glaze adds heat to sweet squash, spicing up the traditional Thanksgiving flavor profile.
Ingredients
8 servings
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place kabocha and delicata squash on separate large rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until squashes are golden brown and tender, 30–35 minutes for kabocha and 20-25 minutes for delicata.
Step 2
Meanwhile, bring chiles, vinegar, honey, raisins, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until syrupy, 8–10 minutes.
Step 3
Brush half of warm agrodolce over warm squash. Transfer to a platter.
Step 4
Just before serving, reheat remaining agrodolce, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen. Spoon over squash.
Do ahead
Step 5
Dish can be made 3 hours ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Back to TopI make this often, whether for weeknight meal prep or for holiday parties where I'm asked to bring a side. It is great exactly as is, but sometimes I'd add ras al hanout, hemp hearts, or feta to add an extra layer.

Tasty, but pretty labor-intensive with all the squash peeling.

Hey good eye Kelcraft from Boston! It is both kabocha AND delicata squash. This is really excellent, I love the tangy, spicy and sweet flavors of agrodolce and this is quite delicious!

Although it was recommended that this could be prepared a few hours before serving, I felt that it benefits from being made a couple of days prior to serving. The flavors have more of a chance to "settle" and it's way more delicious to our sensibilities! I wasn't going to make it again as the flavors seemed rather insipid at first, but 2 days later....excellent!

This is not a review....just a comment. The squash in the picture is does not look like kabocha squash.
