Bite-size roasted butternut squash with a sweet-heat hot honey drizzle, salty feta, and crunchy pepitas. Perfect for fall platters and holiday parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • For the Hot Honey Drizzle:
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the squash is roasting, prepare the hot honey drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and red pepper flakes.
  6. Once the squash is roasted, remove it from the oven.
  7. Transfer the roasted squash to a serving platter.
  8. Drizzle the hot honey mixture over the squash.
  9. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and pepitas over the top.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
  11. Serve immediately as an appetizer or side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispy bites, ensure the squash is in a single layer on the baking sheet and not overcrowded.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes in the hot honey to your preferred spice level.
  • Other serving ideas include adding pomegranate seeds for color or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for depth.
