Description

A savory-sweet side dish featuring tender butternut squash caramelized to perfection, topped with creamy Gorgonzola and a tangy cranberry-balsamic glaze.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until squash is tender and edges are caramelized.
  3. While squash roasts, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, and dried cranberries in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat until glaze thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer roasted squash to a serving dish, drizzle with cranberry-balsamic glaze, and top with Gorgonzola crumbles and fresh thyme.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
