Roasted Butternut Squash with Salad and Honey Chèvre

Posted on October 10, 2019October 7, 2020 by Lanie Fioretti

We’ve had quite a good crop of butternut squash from the plants that grew out of our compost pile!  I’ve decided to try some new recipes this year.  Roasted Butternut Squash with Salad and Honey Chèvre is a hearty, scrumptious spin on a recipe from Food and Wine.  Make this recipe with your favorite winter squash or (Japanese) hokkaido pumpkin, and favorite soft cheese (brie, camembert, burrata).  Next, I’ll work on a twice baked squash recipe!
