  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

1 small butternut squash
(1 pound), peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
2 ounces green beans, sliced on the bias into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup homemade or reduced-sodium store-bought chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 cup fresh or frozen shelled edamame
1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Fill a pot with 2 inches of water. Set a steamer basket (or colander) in pot; bring water to a boil. Place squash in basket and steam just until tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add green beans to basket; steam until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plate.

    Step 2

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add broth, and bring to a simmer. Add corn and edamame; cook, stirring occasionally, until brightly colored and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

    Step 3

    Add thyme, along with steamed squash and green beans; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes, stirring to combine. Add 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and season with pepper; stir to combine. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
