Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked for deeper flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the squash bakes, mix together the feta, honey, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
- Once the squash is finished, let it cool for a few minutes and then drizzle the hot honey feta sauce over the top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Soak squash cubes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting for extra crispiness; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
