4 servings
- 1 large butternut squash (about 3 lb), halved lengthwise and seeded
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 cups chicken broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
For serving
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (pepitas), dry-roasted (optional)
- 1–2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the squash halves cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the cut surfaces with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Roast the squash for 40–45 minutes, until the flesh is completely tender when pierced with a fork and the cut edges are golden and caramelized.
