FFWD - Brown Sugar Squash and Brussels Sprouts En Papillote

This week's recipe from Around My French Table is a winner!  It was so easy to prepare too! 
The ingredients are:  butternut squash, brussel sprouts, and apple (I used a Granny Smith)!  It is mixed with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and brown sugar and topped off with a piece of fresh sage.
Place the mixture on a piece of foil and seal packets.  Bake for 25 minutes at 400 degrees.

Next time I make this I will probably only bake for 20 minutes, but the vegetables tasted great and I loved the addition of apple; a sweet surprise to the dish.

I usually roast vegetables so this was a nice change!

  3. Glad you enjoyed the steaming.. I still don't think I'll try it, though it does take less time to cook than roasting.

  8. Kendra, when I followed your link from FFwD it said that the page didn't exist, but I was able to get the link off the archive section. Your vegetables look super and I also loved how easy this one and it was so pleasant after the recipes from the past couple of weeks. ;)

  9. These were really good, weren't they? Nice and not particularly controversial!

  10. I was pleased the dish was so easy (and had ingredients I both knew and liked - liver, cellophane noodles- I am looking at you). I would not have combined the apple or the sage so am thankful for Dorie's suggestion and inspired to play around a bit on this some more - isn't that what FFWD is all about :)?
