Ingredients:

3 tbsps

Unsalted Butter

1 cup

Water

1 tsp

Salt

1

Squash

2

If using delicata squash, peel it with a vegetable peeler, cut it lengthwise in half, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon

3

Cut each piece lengthwise in half again, then crosswise into 1/2-inch -thick slices

4

Other types of squash should be peeled with a chef's knife, seeded, cut into 1-inch wedges, then sliced 1/2-inch thick

5

Herb Butter

6

Melt the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet over low heat

7

Add the sage and rosemary and cook, stirring, until the butter just begins to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes

Do not brown the herbs

Cooking the herbs in butter mellows their flavor and improves their texture
