Pâtisson Rôti

Pâtisson Rôti is a delightful roasted pattypan squash dish that embodies the flavors of rustic French cooking. Its tender flesh and nutty taste make it a perfect side dish for any Paleo meal.

Ingredients

• Pattypan squash - 2 medium-sized (approximately 300g each)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash the pattypan squashes under cold water and slice off the tops and bottoms to create a stable base.
3. Cut the squashes into quarters, ensuring the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
5. Add the pattypan squash pieces to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil mixture.
6. Spread the seasoned squash onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
7. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly golden, stirring halfway through cooking.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
