Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 oz cubed butternut squash
  • 4 tsp olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 + 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp brown sugar

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • 2. Add squash to a small baking sheet. Toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Spread squash out on the baking sheet and roast until softened, about 30 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking to prevent burning. 
  • 3. Once squash is cooked, add to a blender or food processor along with remaining olive oil, salt, tahini, cinnamon, lemon juice, water and brown sugar. Puree until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
