  • Author: Abby Lawson
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 medium butternut squash
– 4 slices of good quality bread (sourdough or whole-grain preferred)
– 200g feta cheese, crumbled
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh, if available)
– Red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)
– Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives, for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Butternut Squash and Feta Toast can be an enjoyable and straightforward process if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Butternut Squash: Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and slice into bite-sized cubes.
3. Season Squash: In a mixing bowl, toss the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until evenly coated.
4. Roast the Squash: Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
5. Toast the Bread: While the squash is roasting, place the bread slices on a separate baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
6. Combine Ingredients: Once the squash is done roasting, remove it from the oven. In a bowl, mix the roasted squash with crumbled feta cheese, and add red pepper flakes if desired.
7. Assemble the Toasts: Spread the butternut squash and feta mixture evenly over the toasted bread.
8. Garnish: Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, and sprinkle fresh herbs on top for finishing touches.
9. Serve Immediately: Serve the toasts warm for the best flavor and texture.

These steps will guide you to create this incredible toast, capturing the essence of fall flavors and seasonal ingredients.
