Butternut Squash with Tangerine and Sage Glaze

This roasted butternut squash with tangerine and sage glaze is a vibrant, sophisticated side dish that brings a refreshing citrus twist to traditional autumn flavours. By using the long necks of the squash, you create uniform rounds that caramelise beautifully, absorbing the sweet tangerine juice and rich cream. The addition of fresh sage leaves adds an earthy aroma that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of the squash.

Ideal for a festive Sunday lunch or a vegetarian dinner party, this dish provides a colourful and nutritious accompaniment to roasted meats or nut roasts. The combination of bright citrus and savoury herbs makes it a standout vegetarian option that is both simple to prepare and visually impressive. For the best results, use fresh tangerine juice to ensure a sharp, zesty finish.

Ingredients for Butternut Squash with Tangerine and Sage Glaze

  • 3.6kg butternut squash with long necks

  • 240ml fresh tangerine juice, divided

  • 120ml whipping cream

  • 60ml (1/2 stick) butter

  • 2 tablespoons grated tangerine peel

  • Fresh sage leaves (about 30)

How to make Butternut Squash with Tangerine and Sage Glaze

Preheat oven to 191°C. Cut neck off each squash. Peel necks and cut crosswise into generous 1/3-inch-thick slices. Overlap slices in 2 large baking dishes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon 90ml tangerine juice over squash. Spoon cream over squash; dot with butter. Bake squash until beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. Mix tangerine peel into remaining 150ml juice; drizzle over squash. Place 1 sage leaf atop each squash round. Bake until squash are very tender and tops are browned in spots, about 30 minutes longer (do not turn squash over at any point). (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Before serving, heat in 191°C oven until warm, about 15 minutes.)
