Roasted Patisson Squash

Ingredients

• 6 small patisson squashes (or 2 large yellow zucchinis)
• 2 red onions
• 2 tbsp butter
• Salt
• Pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• basil (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 200 °C.

2. 2.

   Cut a lid off each squash and remove the seeds. Slice the squashes crosswise into rings and arrange them side by side on a greased baking sheet. Whisk together olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a dressing, then brush it evenly over the squash rings.

3. 3.

   Bake the squash in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown (they should still have a slight bite).

4. 4.

   Meanwhile, peel the onions and cut them into thin rings. Melt butter in a pan and quickly sauté the onion rings; they should stay pale and crisp.

5. 5.

   Remove the roasted patisson from the oven, arrange it with the onion rings on a plate, and garnish with basil leaves.
