Winter Squash Agrodolce Recipe

Winter Squash Agrodolce Recipe

  • 1 (2 pound) kabocha squash, peeled, seeds removed, cut into 1″ wedges
  • 2 delicata or dumpling squashes, seeds removed, cut into 1″ wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • 2 Fresno chiles, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons golden raisins, chopped
  • 1 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place kabocha and delicata squash on separate large rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until squashes are golden brown and tender, 30–35 minutes for kabocha and 20-25 minutes for delicata.
  2. Meanwhile, bring chiles, vinegar, honey, raisins, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until syrupy, 8–10 minutes.
  3. Brush half of warm agrodolce over warm squash. Transfer to a platter.
  4. Just before serving, reheat remaining agrodolce, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen. Spoon over squash.
  5. Dish can be made 3 hours ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
