13. Arugula Salad with Roasted Butternut Squash & Prosciutto
Peppery arugula and umami prosciutto need a little something to become a complete composed salad and butternut squash is the perfect choice. If you achieve a good amount of caramelization on it as you roast it, it will round out this dish to perfection.
14. Caramelized Butternut Squash
This recipe highlights how little this squash needs to reach its highest expression. With a list of only five ingredients, all of them probably already in your pantry, and one of these beautiful squashes, you are one hot oven away from a sweet, caramelized, toothsome treat. You eat these alone or incorporate into other recipes (like the salad above)—that is, if any of it makes it further than the distance between the sheet pan and your mouth.
