No reviews

This recipe combines roasted winter squash with creamy tahini for a simple, hearty and flavorful dish.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 2 honey squash (or 1 medium butternut squash)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 Tbsp good quality tahini, at room temperature
  • pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds, chopped fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Peel the honey squash, cut off the ends and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings.
  3. Spread squash out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil, and using your hands, make sure squash is evenly coated.
  4. Cook on first side for 10-15 minutes. Turn the rings over and cook another 10-15 minutes, until just caramelized.
  5. Drizzle with tahini. Top with additional pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • You will want to go easy on the olive oil so that the squash develops a nice caramelized texture and isn’t too oily.
