Recipes Seasonal Recipes Fall Recipes Butternut Squash Recipes Butternut Squash with Brown Butter 3.3 (441) Close Credit: EARL CARTER Prep Time: 8 mins Total Time: 35 mins Servings: 4 The easiest way to peel butternut squash is with a vegetable peeler; the harp-shaped variety works particularly well. Directions Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown. Add squash; saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork, about 16 minutes. Add chicken broth, the water, and brown sugar; cook until liquid has evaporated and squash is nicely caramelized, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
