1
Prepare the Vegetables
Peel and cube the butternut squash into small, bite-sized pieces. Slice the red onion thinly and mince the garlic cloves.

2
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed butternut squash and sliced red onion. Sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.
3
Add Garlic and Seasonings
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the garlic is fragrant and the vegetables are tender.

4
Prepare the Caviar Substitute
In a small bowl, mix the black sesame seeds, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. This will serve as a caviar substitute providing a nutty flavor and texture.

5
Plate the Dish
Spoon the sautéed butternut squash and onions onto a serving plate. Top with the black sesame seed mixture to resemble caviar and serve warm.
