A stunning dish that showcases the beauty of simple ingredients, featuring delicata squash roasted to perfection, drizzled with maple brown butter, and topped with creamy whipped feta.
Ingredients
Scale
2 Delicata Squash
2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 cup Feta Cheese
1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the delicata squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Slice the squash into half-moons about 1-inch thick.
- In a large bowl, drizzle the sliced squash with olive oil, add salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread squash on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it turns golden and emits a nutty aroma. Stir in the maple syrup.
- In a food processor, combine feta cheese and a splash of water or olive oil, and blend until smooth.
- Once the squash is roasted, plate it, drizzle with maple brown butter, and top with whipped feta and thyme leaves.
