Butternuts are not a tough nut to crack. They are so easy to chunk up and plunk on a sheet pan to roast all toasty crisp on the outside and smooth in the middle. I made a little photo collage to show some of
our CSA members how I do it. Here it is:
You will find these little pear shaped friends all over the markets these days. Don't do what I do and stare at it lovingly but never actually get at it. Easily one of my top 5 favorite veggies and I forget how easy they are to handle. See above. Just blast these salted and oiled chunks in a hot oven at 425 for 20-30 min and devour. I tend to nibble on them like crackers or nuts just off the sheet tray. We do the same thing to our broccoli and call them broccoli fries for a pre-dinner snack with my kiddo. We love 'em.
Tell me, do you all already know this method?
