Steps to Make Hasselback Butternut Squash

  1. Slice each butternut squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Peel the skin with a sharp peeler. Place squash halves on a baking sheet, seed side down.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast at 400°F (about 200°C) for 15 minutes.
  4. Let cool slightly. To create the hasselback slices, rest a knife along each side of the squash as a stop, then make thin cuts across the top without cutting all the way through.
  5. Brush the squash generously with Dorothy Lynch Dressing & Condiment and return to the oven for another 20–30 minutes, until golden and tender.
  6. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh rosemary and pecans. Serve warm.
