Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Butternut Squash

    Peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create ribbons or noodles from the squash.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the red bell pepper and red onion. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh cilantro.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add the Butternut Squash

    Add the butternut squash ribbons to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

  4. 6

    Incorporate the Red Bell Pepper

    Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the flavors are well combined.

  5. 7

    Finish with Fresh Cilantro

    Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the Moroccan-Spiced Butternut Ribbons warm, topped with toasted almonds and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
