Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (peeled and diced) Butternut squash
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Pine nuts
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 cup Arugula (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the diced butternut squash on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the squash for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized. Set aside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the flatbreads with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place them on a large baking sheet or pizza stone.
Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese over each flatbread.
Distribute the roasted butternut squash evenly on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle the pine nuts, chopped rosemary, and thyme leaves over the squash.
Bake the flatbreads in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of honey.
Optionally, top with a handful of fresh arugula for added brightness and texture.
Slice into pieces and serve warm.
