Feel intimidated having to deal with cutting and peeling a squash?

 Here’s a video on how to make this easier.  Basically you will want to pierce the squash with a knife all over and then place in the microwave for a few minutes.  This softens the skin making it so much easier to peel.

Roasted Carrots with Orange Glaze and Toasted Almonds

Roasted Carrots with Orange Glaze and Toasted Almonds
Baby carrots are roasted in a sweet glaze of brown sugar and orange marmalade and then tossed with toasted sliced almonds and fresh parsley for a dish that holds its own next to turkey and mashed potatoes.
Source:
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds baby carrots
  • ⅓ cup light or dark brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup orange marmalade
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Salt & freshly ground pepper
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
  1. Toast almonds in advance. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring often. Watch closely and remove from oven as soon as they are golden.
  2. For carrots: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place oven rack on lowest position so that you can use the upper part of your oven for another dish. Spray a nonstick rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread the carrots over the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar, marmalade, butter, ½ teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper. Cover pan tightly with foil. Bake on lower rack, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes or until the butter is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
  3. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and glazed, about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the almonds and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste
Notes
A nonstick baking sheet will allow the carrots to get a nice roasted color and make cleanup a breeze. Don’t line the baking sheet with foil or you will lose some of the glaze (it will seep underneath the foil) and the carrots will not brown at all.


If you do make this in advance, don’t add the almonds and parsley until the last minute!
