Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Kale Butternut Squash Gratin.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give an 11x13-inch glass baking dish a light coating of olive oil for a non-stick finish.
Step 2
In a saucepan set over medium-low heat, melt 5 tablespoons of butter until it begins to bubble and take on a slight golden hue, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Once the butter is ready, stir in arrowroot flour until the mixture is well blended, then season it with 1 teaspoon of marjoram, salt, black pepper, and a hint of nutmeg for warmth.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in almond milk, ensuring a smooth blend, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 5
Stir in ricotta cheese until the mixture is velvety and remove it from the heat.
Step 6
Spread one-third of this creamy ricotta mixture evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
Step 7
Layer half of the butternut squash, kale, and onion on top, followed by half of the remaining ricotta mixture.
Step 8
Repeat this layering process with the remaining squash, kale, and onion, finishing with the last of the ricotta mixture.
Step 9
Seal the dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap in all the delicious flavors.
Step 10
Bake in your preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and inviting.
Step 11
Carefully peel back the foil to reveal the bubbling goodness inside.
Step 12
In a separate bowl, combine almond meal, nutritional yeast, 5 tablespoons of melted butter, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of marjoram, thyme, and sea salt.
Step 13
Mix until the texture is crumbly, then generously sprinkle this topping over the gratin.
Step 14
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the gratin is bubbling and the topping has turned a delightful golden brown.
Step 15
Enjoy the comforting aroma as it fills your kitchen, signaling that a delicious meal is on the way!.
