Hearth Roasted Squash Recipe

Hearth Roasted Squash Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help caramelize the squash and create a lovely roasted flavor.

2. 2

   Prepare the Squash

   Peel the butternut squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Then, cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.

3. 3

   Season the Squash

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.

4. 4

   Roast the Squash

   Spread the seasoned squash in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the squash is tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.

5. 5

   Prepare the Walnuts

   While the squash is roasting, place the walnuts on a separate baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5-10 minutes, until fragrant and slightly browned. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

6. 6

   Combine and Drizzle

   Once the squash is roasted and the walnuts are toasted, remove both from the oven. In a large bowl, combine the roasted squash and toasted walnuts. Drizzle the hot honey over the mixture and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Toss gently to combine.

7. 7

   Serve

   Transfer the hearth roasted squash to a serving dish. Enjoy warm as a delightful side dish or a wholesome snack.
