Cheesy Butternut Squash Gratin

Cheesy Butternut Squash Gratin

By MOB KitchenPublished on 16 November 2021This easy gratin uses Ocado Own Range butternut squash to make a delicious weeknight dinner. It’s full of flavour and is really easy to prepare, making it a wonderful vegetarian dish the whole family will enjoy. The recipe uses the skin of the squash for extra earthy flavour and less prep (and waste). This is a versatile recipe too, so feel free to swap out sage for another herb like rosemary or thyme. Gratin is a French culinary technique in which an ingredient is topped with a browned crust, often using breadcrumbs, grated cheese, egg or butter. The word gratin comes from the French word, ‘gratter’ meaning to grate.
