FULL RECIPE:
Wicked Roast Herby Crusted Butternut Squash Tenderloin
Serves 4 - 6
Cook time: roughly 1 hour 45 minutes
Roasting the squash the day before cuts down on prep time.
INGREDIENTS:
Whole Butternut Squash (preferably with a long neck) weights vary
4 Tbs Olive oil
3 TBS Wicked Kitchen Sage-Onion-Garlic seasoning
2 TBS black peppercorns, ground
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
• Preheat oven to 200c/180c fan or 400f/350f convection
• On a baking sheet place whole Butternut squash (Skin and all) and roast for 45-60 minutes until 95% cooked, time will vary depending on size. To check for doneness insert a skewer 3 inches from the top stem, when it can penetrate in and out through the width easily, it is done.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 30 -45 minutes to finish carry over cooking. (Doing this the day before saves time.)
• Top and tail the squash with a sharp knife, cut away the section with the seeds to leave the long neck (tenderloin) for roasting. Tips for using the seeded part below. Stand the squash on one end and carefully peel/cut away the skin.
• Place peeled squash in a large bowl of baking sheet, rub with oil to cover and then evenly apply the seasonings to cover all sides of the squash.
• Heat a large, heavy frying pan (cast iron preferred) over a med-high heat. Add oil and carefully add the squash and pan fry and turn to get all sides until browned.
• In the same pan (or transfer to baking sheet), roast for an additional 20 minutes until done.
• Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes before plating and slicing. Serve with gravy.
OPTIONS:
• For the seeded bottom part: scoop out seeds, rinse, dry, season and toast for garnish.
Use the rest of the squash in soup, add to mashed potatoes or smash with plant based
butter a bit of brown sugar and bake for a treat.
• Try with different seasonings for different occasions. BBQ rub with BBQ sauce for
summer eats and so on….
• Serve with Brussels sprouts and fresh peas. Before final roast add quickly seared
Brussels Sprouts and fresh peas tossed with plant-based butter pinch of salt and pepper.
This adds vibrant color contrast when serving and delicious flavor combination.

[@tarag2219]

This is a gorgeous meal! That golden brown crust on the squash looks so yummy. What oil do you use in the cast iron? I know they say olive oil has a low smoke point but is it ok to use here? Was the seasoning rub just onion powder/garlic powder/sage, anything else in that blend? If I could buy your mix in NYC I certainly would. Thank you.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

I tend to stick with a veg oil and have not tried with olive oil. On the blend any traditional sage-onion blend works or whatever your favorite flavor blends you want to use works too. Straight up salt and pepper works too. Thank you!

[@ank0ut]

Why don't you mix all the species before adding to the butternut squash? Great video

[@mysticsuzi]

Came here from my kitchen. Looking for the fabu mustache. I guess I need to fast forward a little bit...

[@suzettesmith2075]

Hmmm. Interesting

[@janetsontilt]

Lovely and creative… how about we stuff it with some lentils, sausage and onions and serve some Zucchini spirals on the side drizzled with butter and garlic?????🚀🤗

[@almcloud]

Love ur recipes, problem is that mushrooms are the staple of your cooking. Wife is allergic, what can they be substituted with in your opinion?

[@solomonjenkins9505]

fuck that gravy looks bomb

How about taking the seeds out before baking it? I need seeds for my garden. S/b ok to take the seeds out before baking it, isn’t it🧐.

Yes just wrap and cover the opening

[@MER7]

You are as “kind” as your vegetables are for our consumption - animals in the kitchen not our food

[@t.c.2776]

so... the only reason you're calling this a Tenderloin (named after a cut of meat) is because of how you cut it and presented it... that's oddly hilarious... so you could cut it in the shape of a beef liver or kidney, or even a chicken breast and just put the name Butternut in front of it... projection + rationalization is fascinating... but it does look tasty...

[@KerryWanamaker]

That looks amazing !
