Hot Honey Beef Fry Butternut Squash Bake

When hosting Yom Tov meals, I like to have pretty and delicious food, yet I want to enjoy the company as well and not be busy serving in the kitchen the entire time. I find that preparing dishes that are served on platters or oven-to-tableware makes hosting so much easier and more enjoyable. This recipe checks off all those requirements. The beautiful color and presentation and the mix of flavors are sure to make a statement on your Yom Tov table!

1h 40m 8-10
Easy Gluten Free Low Carb Meat

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

  2. Coat the bottom of your oven-to-table dish with two tablespoons margarine. Slice

    the beef fry slices in half and put a half slice between each slice of squash as you place it in your pan.

  3. Combine maple syrup, honey, hot sauce, and smoked paprika and pour the mixture over the squash and beef fry slices.

  4. Melt four tablespoons margarine in a saucepan. Add the onion and brown sugar.

    Sauté for about 15 minutes, until the onion is slightly golden, the brown sugar is melted, and it’s a thick consistency. When done, pour it over the squash, forming a nice strip down the center.

  5. Cover and bake for one hour and 15 minutes. If you want the beef fry and onion to become a bit crispy and charred, uncover and broil for three to five minutes, or until you get your desired crispiness.

Tips:
For this recipe to have the prettiest look, only use the neck part of the butternut squash. When choosing your squash, look for one that has a nice long neck and a smaller bulb. You can cube the extra bit of squash, brush it with some of the sauce, bake it on a baking sheet, and enjoy it in a salad!
