How to Make Indian Winter Squash Gratin
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel, deseed, and cube the butternut squash (about 1.5 lbs).
- In a large bowl, toss the squash cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer in a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- While the squash is baking, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated coconut, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds.
- Once the squash is cooked, sprinkle the coconut-cilantro-almond topping evenly over the gratin.
- Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the topping is lightly toasted.
