Butternut squash are still readily available at the Farmers Markets. Since Beth Buczynski of EcosphericBlog was happy that I posted a non-soup recipe when I made the roasted butternut squash fries, I’m posting another non-soup recipe.
- Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1/2 butternut squash
- 2 apples (one sweet and one sour)
- Handful of walnuts
- 2 tablespoons of raw honey
- tablespoon of olive oil
- teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
- dash of sea salt
- How to make:

Mmm, this is my absolute favorite way to prepare butternut squash — delicious!
Word. It’s so freakin good…
This sounds wonderful – I love butternut squash and honey roasted anything makes it even better! I have Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Honey Roasted Pear Salad with Goat Cheese on my site if you want to try it out. I’ll be trying this recipe for sure! 🙂
That’s what’s up. I’ve recently subscribed to your site. Will certainly dive deeper.
It looks so good, I do similar but haven’t added apples. Next batch, apples go in.
Get the apples in there. Lemme know how it turns out.
b-nut squash and apples were just made for each other.
Oh, gonna have to try this on the little ones again!
oh wow that looks fantastic! will have to try this one on the weekend.
They certainly were.
Lemme know how you likes.
Cool. Hope they enjoy.
Thank you…Yum
Honey roasted veggies sound wonderful. What’s your site?
That looks so, so good.
Damned. Good it is.
Great recipe! We grew butternut squash last year, and maybe we were lucky, maybe it was a good year, but we still have some in the root cellar. We mostly made soup, and were sick of it by December, so maybe that was part of the problem. I’ll have to try this soon.
BTW- if you have some dirt on the ground, butternut squash are almost ridiculously easy to grow. We sowed a few mounds between the tomatoes and okra in our little community garden plot, and we had maybe 15-18 squash in a 10×15 area. Someone helped themself to a bunch of them, so that’s sort of an estimate- but we thought of it as our contribution to ending hunger in the Twin Cities. Not sure if they’ll grow like this in LA- but the dirt here grows ’em like crazy.
Nice. Thanks for the tip.
Well, yum! Butternut squash is one of my all time favorites. Super easy to grow, and it stores so well, too. We grow it on a heavy trellis, or a tunnel-which is fun 😉
I recently made a whole wheat lasagna with pureed butternut squash and corn. I used various soft cheeses and it was killer.
I also use it in place of pumkin for pie. Tastes better than pumpkin.
A tunnel?! That definitely sounds interesting.
Like the substitution idea. Will have to try that.
When I was in London the last time, I was at Jamie Oliver’s Restaurant, the “Fifteen” and at a Risotto with Butternut squash – yummy 🙂
That sounds pretty damned good.
Making this recipe tonight! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Okay, this looks seriously mouth-watering. Inspiring, too–I went out today and bought Butternut Squash seeds! Thanks for the idea, Mike!:)
Word. Lemme know how you likes.
That’s what’s up. Now you gotta grow a walnut tree too 😉
Not a bad idea!;) I have seen them growing along I-5, come to think of it.
We just started our butternut squash seeds last week, one is like the jolly green giant already! They are so fun to watch growing, almost as fun as eating! Thanks for sharing such a fantastic recipe!
Thanks. Now you got me wanting to see if I can grow some on my balcony. Not sure I could with the 5-gallon containers and limited sun. Hm….
It turned out wonderful! Our friends loved it as well. I’m going to have to make a lot more next time.
For real. You know I’d some of it too.
I do something similar but I use maple syrup (I’m in Canada), pecans and dried cranberries. This would be a nice variation
Ah yes maple syrup would be nice too.
Ah yes maple syrup would be nice too.
I have been looking for a recipe with squash in phylo. My grandma made phylo strudel with diced hubbard squash it was honey sweet and so good. I have losted the recipe with her. I remember her roasting the 1/2 shell of squash in oven. That is all other then her rolling it in her stretched dough and bake it. The squash was so tasty. If some one can send me any idea pleas do. Thank you Cindy
