Butternut Squash-Sage-Goat Cheese Spread
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 20 ounces peeled butternut squash, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 shallots, peeled and thickly sliced
  • 20 sage leaves (kept whole, stems removed)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • For serving: sliced bread or crackers
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Cover a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil or spray with oil.
  2. Place cut butternut squash, sliced shallots and whole sage leaves in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil (you may only need a tablespoon) and sea salt and pepper.
  3. Spread butternut squash mixture onto prepared cookie sheet.
  4. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes or until very tender. Let cool.
  5. Put cooled butternut squash mixture into the bowl of a food processor and add goat cheese. Process until smooth.
  6. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  7. Serve with sliced bread or crackers.
Notes
* Use pre-cut butternut squash if you can find it – it makes this recipe even easier.
* If you have time I recommend making it a day in advance so the flavors can meld.
