Roasted Butternut Squash Rounds
Looking for an easy, nutritious holiday appetizer that will impress your guests? These Roasted Butternut Squash Slices are the perfect solution.
Ingredients
- 2 or 3 small butternut squash, thoroughly washed and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
- 2 Tbsps avocado oil, or olive oil
- 2 tsps smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 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!
