Jose Picayo

Serves 8 Hands-On Time: 20m Total Time: 1hr 15m

Ingredients

3 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds each)—peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons
8 shallots, cut into wedges
4 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Directions

Heat oven to 375° F. Divide the squash and shallots among 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Toss the vegetables with a total of 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with a total of ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Arrange in a single layer and roast, turning once, until golden brown and tender, 50 to 55 minutes.
Meanwhile, simmer the cider in a small saucepan until reduced to ¼ cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar, mustard, parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Transfer the squash and shallots to a serving dish and drizzle with the vinaigrette.

Quick Tip

Roast the squash and make the vinaigrette; refrigerate, separately, for up to 1 day in advance (alternatively, keep them at room temperature for up to 6 hours). To serve, reheat the squash at 375° F for 20 to 30 minutes, then drizzle with the vinaigrette.
