Butternut Squash with Mustard Vinaigrette

Butternut Squash with Mustard Vinaigrette

Ingredients
  • 3 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds each)—peeled, seeded, and cut into ½-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
  • ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer the squash and shallots to a serving dish and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
