Honey Roasted Squash Apple Bites

Serves 4 · 15 min prep · 28 min cook

Ingredients

• 1 small (about 1.5 lb) butternut squash
• 2 medium crisp apples
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt for dipping
• 1 tbsp extra honey for drizzling

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
2. 2Peel the squash, scoop out the seeds, and cut the flesh into ¾-inch cubes.
3. 3Core the apples and cut them into matching ¾-inch cubes so everything roasts evenly.
4. 4In a large bowl whisk together the honey, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
5. 5Add the squash and apple cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly so every piece is coated.
6. 6Spread the cubes in a single layer on the prepared sheet, leaving a little space between them.
7. 7Roast for 18 minutes, then sprinkle the walnuts over the pan and continue roasting 8–10 minutes more until the edges are caramelized and the squash is tender when pierced.
8. 8Remove the pan, scatter the fresh thyme leaves over the hot bites, and let them rest 3 minutes so the honey glaze sets slightly.
9. 9Transfer the warm bites to a platter and place a small bowl of Greek yogurt in the center.
10. 10Drizzle the remaining honey over the yogurt and serve family-style so everyone can spear bites and dip.
