I found this recipe earlier today, and thought it sounded so good that I needed to make it for dinner tonight. I did, and was really happy with the results. Because butternut squash is such a pain in the neck to peel and cut, I highly recommend buying the already peeled and cut kind from Costco. I promise that it's well worth the extra dollar or two.
2 pounds butternut squash
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup almonds (original recipe called for pecans)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (the original recipe called for blue cheese)
1/2 cup Craisins
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Peel and halve the squash, scoop out the seeds, and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Put into a 9x13 pan with the oil; sprinkle with thyme. Roast in the oven for about 30minutes; add craisins and almonds, and stir into squash. Bake an additional 15 minutes.
After you remove the squash from the oven, move the squash to a bowl; allow to cool a few minutes before adding the cheese, so it doesn’t melt.
