Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 medium delicata squash, sliced into 1/2-inch rings and seeds removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss delicata squash rings with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized.
- While squash roasts, prepare whipped feta: In a food processor, blend feta, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes. Add cinnamon and maple syrup, stir to coat, and cook 1 more minute. Remove from heat.
- In a small saucepan, combine apple cider, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- To serve, spread whipped feta on a platter, top with roasted squash, sprinkle with cinnamon walnuts, and drizzle with apple cider–honey glaze.
