  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil, or olive oil
  • 2 tsps smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1 cup crumbled feta, stilton, blue cheese, or creamy, crumbly cheese of your choice
  • 1/2 cup chopped raw pecans or walnuts

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Slice your butternut squash on the smaller side of the squash as shown in the photos. I stopped once I got to the thicker, seed-filled side of the squash. Use that part for another recipe.

In a large bowl, add your sliced butternut squash rounds and toss with oil, paprika, cayenne, sea salt, and pepper until each round is nicely coated.

Arrange your prepared rounds in a single layer on your lined baking sheets. Roast in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.

Once the butternut squash is done, remove them from the oven and drizzle with honey.

Sprinkle each with cheese and pecans or walnuts as desired.
Enjoy!
